Rönesans Rezidans

A Hatay court has held the initial hearing of the case involving alleged negligence in the construction of the Rönesans Residence, in which over 260 people died in last year's devastating earthquakes in the country's south.

A group of academics have submitted an expert report to the prosecution revealing substantial negligence and flaws in the construction process of 500 buildings, including three widely covered structures, which collapsed during the Feb. 6 earthquakes, and resulted in numerous fatalities.
