'Violanda' Tragedy: Owner in Custody – Shocking Warning from Mechanical Engineer

Following the tragedy at the 'Violanda' factory, which claimed the lives of five workers, serious omissions and negligence on the part of management are coming to light. As early as October, a mechanical engineer had warned of the serious deficiencies in the propane system, which posed an increased risk to workers. The tanks and pipes did not meet the specifications, while the network pressure was prohibitive. Despite the warnings, the factory management was indifferent and did not take the necessary safety measures. Workers had reported gas leaks, but their concerns were ignored. The tragedy occurred in the basement of building B, resulting in the death of the five women. The owner of 'Violanda' was remanded in custody after a five-hour apology, denying the charges and claiming he was unaware of the danger. He argued that he had not been informed of the deficiencies and had not received the mechanical engineer's warning. The case is being investigated for potential criminal liability.
