Eight probed over night-club disaster

(ANSA) - Ancona, December 7 - Seven other people are under investigation over Friday's stampede disaster at a night club in Corinaldo in addition to a minor who was identified in relation to the case at the weekend, sources said on Monday.
    Prosecutors said the seven people are the three owners of the company that manages the club and the four owners of the property. The stampede claimed six lives, including those of five minors, during a rap concert at a night club near Ancona, late on Friday. The minor suspect is a 15-year-old who has been detained on drugs charges, sources said. He may have caused the stampede by using pepper spray, although it is not certain that he caused the wave of panic and prosecutors are looking into various avenues. Investigators are also looking into whether the club sold more tickets to the event that the venue could safety hold.
