Trial Postponed for Tangier Factory Owner in Deadly Workplace Disaster

Prosecuted for "involuntary manslaughter", "involuntary injuries" and "violations of the Labor Code", Adil B. requested through his lawyer this postponement to allow him to receive treatment before starting the investigation procedure. The judge approved the lawyer’s request and the accused will continue to receive care in prison.

As a defense line, the lawyer argues that his client "suffers from health problems following his last-minute rescue from drowning in the basement of his factory, in addition to the shock of the death of his 28 employees".

To recall, the prosecution had given instructions for him to be arrested as soon as he woke up from the coma and an investigation had been opened against him and all the people involved in this tragedy.
