Panamanian Authorities Investigate Construction Explosions Threatening Homes

While the Superior Environmental Prosecutor's Office evaluates the land, families report that with each explosion the danger increases, with walls giving way and floors fracturing. The Public Prosecutor's Office has initiated an ex officio investigation following the cry for help from residents who denounce that explosions from a construction project are demolishing their peace and their homes. The affected residents are from Vista del Rocío, Princesa de Gales, Villa Alegría, La Alhambra and Villa Zaita. The document issued by the Public Ministry indicates that the company responsible is being investigated for the alleged execution of explosions that would not only be causing harm to residents but also possible environmental damage in the area. Authorities have ordered immediate proceedings to verify the facts on the land and collect the necessary evidence that will allow determining if there is criminal liability for the damage caused to the community. For the neighbors, this judicial intervention is a race against the clock.
