Prosecutors indicted owners of the Colectiv club and of Golden Ideas Fireworks Artists

December 23, 2015

Prosecutors with the General Prosecutor's Office have indicted Club Colectiv Ltd, the company managing the Colectiv Club, and Golden Ideas Fireworks Artists Ltd., in charge of pyrotechnic effects, for manslaughter and involuntary bodily injury with multiple victims. Daniela Nita, manager and majority shareholder of Golden Ideas Fireworks Artists Ltd., was called on Wednesday to the headquarters of the Prosecutor General's Office, where prosecutors announced her that was indicted also for the said offences, regarding all victims. The extension of the indictment has been decided also for Viorel Zaharia, a pyrotechnics employee at Golden Ideas Artists Fireworks Ltd., for manslaughter, regarding the victims deceased after November 2, 2015. According to a press release of the Prosecutor General's Office, in the same case, prosecutors have changed the legal classification for the owners of the Colectiv club - Paul Gancea, George Anastasescu and Costin Mincu - from the offense of involuntary bodily injury to the offense of manslaughter, following the deaths after November 2, 2015. Moreover, the defendants were informed about the objectives of the technical and scientific forensic analyses in the case and about the fact that a lien had been placed on their assets, as in the case of Club Colectiv Ltd. and Golden Ideas Fireworks Artists Ltd. Prosecutors have established that the fire at the Colectiv Club occurred due to the fact that the people managing that space encouraged and allowed the access of a number of people much above the admissible limit of the club, with the space not being fitted with several emergency exits, and conducting a fireworks show in the club with interior decoration unfit for such activities, characterized by the existence of easily inflammable materials that were fitted with violating legal provisions, which resulted in the death and injury of several people in the club.The death toll so far following the Colectiv club fire amounts to 60 people.
