He added, "According to the investigation revealed about those inside the apartment building, all those trapped have been found," noting that "we have not received any reports for this moment about other missing persons."

As of Friday, three days after the collapse of the building, 13 bodies had been recovered from the rubble of the building in Jabal Al-Weibdeh, one of the oldest neighborhoods in the Jordanian capital.

The Public Prosecutor in Amman decided on Wednesday to arrest three people in connection with the case, the son of the building owner and supervisor, the maintenance contractor, and the maintenance technician, after they were charged with “crimes of causing death and causing harm.”

The Jabal Al Weibdeh area, where the building is located, is considered one of the most beautiful, oldest and most ancient areas of Amman. Its construction dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century, and many foreigners reside there, and it includes the headquarters of the French Cultural Center.
