A Bulgarian court has found six of nine defendants guilty for the death of a construction worker, who died under the rubble of a collapsed building.
Stoyan Kandilev, 22, was killed and another three men were injured in the accident in 2004 after a slate fell on them at the construction site they worked at on "Bulgaria" boulevard in the capital Sofia.
The architect of the building, officials from the company that laid the concrete, a consultant and the executive directors of the construction company and the concrete center were imposed a fine of BGN 3 000 each.
They will also have to pay BGN 3 000 in damages to each of the workers who were injured in the collapse.
Sofia City court launched the trial in June 2006 after three failed attempts to do so.
The sentences are subject to appeal.
