A Russian court has handed down lengthy prison terms to managers and fire safety chiefs blamed for a leisure centre inferno that killed 60 people. The fire engulfed the top floor of the Winter Cherry mall in March 2018, in the Siberian city of Kemerovo. The cause was a short circuit in the lighting for a children’s play area, and 37 of those killed were children. Eight people were handed jail terms on Friday. Three other criminal cases concerning the fire remain in progress.

Bogdanova received a 14 year jail sentence while Nadezhda Suddenok, CEO of the Winter Cherry company which ran the mall, got 13 and a half years.(BBC)…[+]
