The owners of Boate Kiss, Elissandro Calegaro Spohr and Mauro Londero Hoffmann, were sentenced to 22 years and six months, and to 19 years and six months of imprisonment respectively.
The fire at the Kiss Nightclub occurred in 2013, in the city of Santa Maria, leaving 242 dead and 636. The incident occurred because of the use of pyrotechnic resources inside the club.
The defendants were sentenced by the Jury of Porto Alegre last week, but were granted preventive habeas corpus granted by a judge of the Court of Justice.
In January 2013, a fire at the Kiss Nightclub killed 242 people, mostly young people, and injured more than 600. The four defendants received sentences ranging from 18 to 22 years in prison.
The tragedy, which killed 242 people and left 636 injured, began on the stage, where the Banda Gurizada Fandangueira was performing, and soon spread, causing a lot of toxic smoke.
