Ján Tomčáni, the structural engineer of the collapsed Trinity project in Bratislava, has been sentenced to 30 months of suspended jail time. He also received a six-year ban on conducting any business in the construction sector by the regional court in Bratislava II. The court found him guilty of being a public nuisance. The garages in the Trinity residential complex collapsed in 2012 due to excessive loading following heavy rains. Two other projects that Tomčáni was involved in – Apollo Business Center 1 in Bratislava and Centroom in Piešťany – also had problems with their structural engineering. The tenants had to vacate Apollo, and Centroom will have to be repaired.
