The Public Prosecutor's Office has received the final expert report on the building collapse in Encarnación, prepared by the School of Engineering of the National University of Asunción (UNA). Prosecutor Francisco Martínez confirmed that the document contains the results of field and laboratory analyses conducted after samples were collected from the structure.
Martínez explained that the report identifies the causes of the collapse and points out faults detected during construction. The technical report has been forwarded to a civil engineering advisor at the Public Prosecutor's Office for detailed analysis, who will subsequently translate the conclusions for the team of prosecutors and for the public.
Among the inconsistencies noted, the document mentions that the foundation plans did not contain details for all footings, presented conflicting measurements, and did not specify the technical strengths of the concrete and steel, as required. Furthermore, the structural plan was not signed by a responsible civil engineer, in violation of Municipal Ordinance No. 56/75 of Encarnación.
The prosecutor emphasized that the report aligns with the case theory maintained by the Public Prosecutor's Office since the beginning of the investigation. Four people remain as defendants, including Luis Yd Sanchez and René Orlando Miglio, related to the issuance of Municipal Permit No. 120/2023, while one of the charges was dismissed after evidence was evaluated.
