The social landlord Marseille Habitat was indicted in particular for "manslaughter by deliberate violation of a safety obligation" in the investigation into the fatal collapse of two buildings in Marseille in November 2018, we learned on Tuesday to the prosecution.
Almost two years ago to the day, two buildings in the hyper-center of Marseille, at 63 and 65 rue d'Aubagne, in the Noailles district, collapsed killing eight people, highlighting the magnitude of the problem of unsanitary housing in the second largest city in France.
The indictment of the mixed economy company of the city of Marseille is the first in this case.
