Apparently the dude that owns the club is from a super-powerful family, their history goes way back to their namesake being one of the largest slave owners on the island.. They have been called "The Kennedys of the Dominican Republic". Independent people have been calling it out that since he owns multiple stations and media outlets there, the media is scared to call him out on this issue, and are fearful for losing their shows. I watched a good bit of Dominican TV yesterday, and it was odd to see when someone was interviewed and they started talking about responsibility and corruption, the interviewer would hit the 
and either change the subject or cut the interview short.
and either change the subject or cut the interview short.Wifey said 300 people died. This was when it first happened and they announced 12 people. I thought she was doing her normal Dominican math and blew her off. Looks like her family sources were better than I thought.

Bunch of people in the comments complaining about the same thing, that the local media is scared to do any investigation. This video is from US TV.
And it really is looking like all the heavy add-ons to the ceiling were what brought it down.

The owner of an iconic nightclub in the Dominican Republic whose roof collapsed in April and killed 236 people was arrested Thursday along with his sister.
Antonio Espaillat and Maribel Espaillat have not been charged in the case, although authorities have 48 hours to present any charges before a judge.
“Both defendants displayed immense irresponsibility and negligence by failing to physically intervene to prevent the club’s roof from collapsing, as it ultimately did, causing 236 deaths and more than 180 injuries,” the Dominican Republic’s Attorney General’s Office said in a statement.
Prosecutors accused the Espaillats of trying to intimidate or manipulate company employees, adding that they could serve as witnesses in the case.
An attorney for the Espaillats could not be immediately reached for comment.
The Espaillats were arrested after being interrogated for several hours.
A government-appointed committee that includes international experts is still investigating what caused the roof to collapse.
Crews worked for 53 hours nonstop after arriving on the scene in Santo Domingo shortly after midnight on April 8, rescuing 189 survivors.
The victims included beloved singer Rubby Pérez, who was performing when the roof caved in, and Nelsy Cruz, the governor of Montecristi province and sister of seven-time Major League Baseball All-Star Nelson Cruz.
Also killed was former MLB pitcher Octavio Dotel, who was pulled from the debris but died at a hospital, and Dominican baseball player Tony Enrique Blanco Cabrera.
Other victims include a retired U.N. official, New York-based fashion designer Martín Polanco, an Army captain who left behind four young girls, and three employees at Grupo Popular, a financial services company, including the president of AFP Popular Bank and his wife.
The club, which had operated for nearly five decades, was known for its Monday night merengue parties that attracted international celebrities and high-profile Dominicans.
