Judge halts work on WCup stadium
Print Edition
A BRAZILIAN judge ordered construction to stop on the Arena Amazonia in the jungle city of Manaus, local media said on Sunday, the day after a worker died after falling off the stadium’s roof.
Public prosecutors asked for work to halt pending investigations seeking to guarantee workers’ safety after the death of Marcleudo de Melo Ferreira, the fifth construction worker to die in stadiums being built to host the 2014 World Cup of soccer in 12 cities. “As of noon today the work is banned,” prosecutor Jorsinei Dourado do Nascimento told Globo News. “The notice has already been delivered.” It was not clear if the order applied to the entire stadium or just the roof. Manaus is scheduled to host four World Cup games in June, including high-profile encounters involving teams from England, Italy, the US and Portugal. The stadium is supposed to be ready by January 15.
