An appeal court has upheld the verdict of the Makkah Criminal Court to acquit all the defendants in the Haram crane crash case in Saudi Arabia.
The verdict brings down the curtain on a case that has been in the spotlight for a number of years since the crane crash in 2015.
In December 2020, the Makkah Criminal Court issued its verdict for the third time, acquitting all the 13 defendants in the case, including the Saudi Bin Laden Group.
At least 108 people lost their lives and another 238 were injured when a crane involved in the Haram expansion project crashed on September 11, 2015.
The Makkah court ruled that the disaster was caused by heavy rains and thunderstorms, rather than human error or fault.
