Suspension of the statement of the three environmental engineers investigated for the collapse of Zaldibar

Date:

The strike they support in the administration of justice has been the reason that they had to postpone the declaration.

Three Basque government environmental technicians under investigation for a possible crime of reckless subterfuge in the case of the collapse of the Zaldibar landfill were summoned this Thursday to testify in a court in Durango (Bizkaia), but the strike they support at the administration of justice has forced the trial to be postponed.

These three persons were summoned 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 “enforced the AAI of January 22 with effectiveness 2007 and made the start of operation of the landfill.”

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.
