‘They Were Aware’: Former Jet Set Employee Claims Owners Knew About Nightclub’s Structural Issues
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A former employee of the Jet Set Club nightclub, where 236 people died after the roof collapsed in 2025, testified on Monday before a judge that the establishment's owners were fully aware of the building's structural deterioration. 'Yes, they were aware, because I sent them photos, I sent them videos of all the problems there. This should never have happened; not a single person should have died there,' Gregory Adames stated during the final phase of the preliminary trial against siblings Antonio and Maribel Espaillat, owners of the nightclub. This testimony, presented in a case involving prosecutors and dozens of lawyers representing the affected families, worsens the legal situation for the business owners amid complaints from victims' families about delays and slow progress in the proceedings.
