Five Arrested in Connection with Jean Paul Sofia’s Tragic Death

Jul 22 2023

Five individuals have been arrested in connection with the tragic death of Jean Paul Sofia, who lost his life in a devastating factory collapse at the Corradino Industrial Estate on December 3.

The arrests were carried out late on Friday night by the police shortly after they received a copy of the concluded magisterial inquiry into the incident, led by Magistrate Marse-Ann Farrugia.

The prolonged duration of the inquiry drew criticism from Prime Minister Robert Abela, who expressed his concerns over the time taken to conclude the report.

In addition to the magisterial inquiry, Jean Paul Sofia’s untimely death will be the subject of a public and independent inquiry, tasked with scrutinising the circumstances that led to the tragic incident and investigating any potential political negligence or failings that may have contributed to it.

The nation awaits further developments and the arraignment of those under arrest, which will appear in court to face charges during this weekend.
