Three environmental engineers from the Basque government who are under investigation for a possible crime of reckless subterfuge in the case of the collapse of the Zaldibar landfill will be summoned this Thursday to testify in a court in Durango (Bizkaia).
These three persons are quoted as technicians belonging to the Inspection Service of the Vice Ministry of the Environment who intervened in the concession to Verter of the Integrated Environmental Permit of March 24, 2011, which “gave the AAI on January 22, 2007 and made the start of the operation of the landfill possible”.
Likewise, one of these three persons is in turn cited for intervening in the controls planned during the 2017 financial year. His declaration was in principle scheduled for February 28, 2023, but was postponed.
The Zaldibar landfill, operated by the Verter company, collapsed on February 6, 2020 and the collapse buried two workers Alberto Sololuze, whose remains were located in August of that year, and Joaquín Beltrán, whose body was not found after some works lasted for 15 months during which 450,000 cubic meters of soil was excavated and raked.
