The state media said on Friday that fourteen people have now been arrested under a criminal investigation into 78 people due to fire at a luxury ski resort hotel in Turkey.
The Anadolu news agency said that eight people were brought before the prosecutors on Friday in connection with the fire at the Grand Kartal Hotel in Kartalakaya in the early hours of Tuesday.
Those detained include the hotel owner and his son-in-law as well as general manager, director and chief electrician and firefighter head in the nearby city of Bolu.
Negligence for high mortality is suspected, the survivors said that the 12 -storey hotel had no fire alarms, security exit or fire doors, causing people to get stuck inside.
