New Hearing Held in Trial of Officers Charged in Relation to Kochani Fire

A new hearing was held on Wednesday in the trial of the 13 police officers charged in relation to the 2025 Kochani fire. Two minors, who were among those present at the Pulse nightclub on March 16, 2025, testified.

According to both testimonies, there were police officers inside the nightclub. As one of the minors testified, after she had been pulled out of the facility, she sought help from a police officer who, as she specified, is her second cousin. However, according to her testimony, she did not receive any help from him.

In the trial, the 13 officers are accused of grave crimes against general safety related to the fire.
