“He has placed personal monetary gain above the safety of his tenants.” With those harsh terms, the criminal court has ruled on Hamdi C., the landlord of the exploded building on Paardenmarkt 101. The court sentenced the landlord to eighteen months in prison for unintentional killing and unintentional blows and injuries. The gas disaster on January 15, 2018 killed two people and injured 27.
