Huge damages, but also uncertainty following the devastating fire that included the Pantelimon Entafrig halls on Tuesday, September 23. Although the owner, the Iranian businessman Jafar Kabiri, had an insurance policies in a total value of approximately 12 million euros, the lack of fire safety authorization from ISU could lead to the loss of the entire compensation.

“They had no fire safety authorization”, confirmed Daniel Vasile, spokesman of ISU Bucharest-Ilfov.

The specialists point out that although the insurance of a building is not automatically conditioned by obtaining the ISU opinion, its lack can become a vulnerable point in case of major damage.

“The issuance of an insurance policy is not always conditioned by the approval or authorization of ISU. There are some minimum documents provided by law, and those on the security side can be negotiated with the insurer, with some implementing terms. explained Marius Constantinescu, insurance broker, quoted by the observer.

There is also the scenario in which the payment is not completely blocked, but reduced. In the absence of ISU authorization, the insurance company can impose a franchise of up to 15%, which would mean the loss of almost 2 million euros from the insured amount.

“Until the definitive obtaining of the ISU opinion, the insurer can conclude the insurance policy, but, until the authorization, this franchise is used”, said Dorel Duță, president of the Union of Insurance Intermediation Companies.

The insurance company involved confirmed that there are insurance policies for Antefrig, but did not provide additional details on the value of the compensation or the contractual conditions.

The halls and the merchandise were burnt by fire

Beyond the fact that the halls have burned almost completely, an important loss comes for the owner and from the complete destruction of the stored goods – from meat to clothing items – which, according to information, would not benefit from any form of insurance.

The hall belongs to the Iranian businessman Jafar Kabiri, known for controversial business and for his position in the top of companies with Iranian shareholding in Romania. His name has been linked in the past by an investigation into illegal traffic traffic, and the police confiscated firearms.

“Thank you very much. We are with colleagues from … the team from ISU and Police”, It was the only public reaction offered by Kabiri in front of the rooms.

At the Entifrig, Jafar Kabiri was a partner with another Iranian businessman, Manloucher Saadati-Sohi, also involved in numerous suspicious real estate transactions in the Capital.

The fire, which stretched over an area of ​​about 7,000 square meters, was extinguished by firefighters after 36 hours of intervention.

The on -site investigations led to the opening of a criminal case for destruction, and the main hypothesis taken into account by investigators is a short circuit, possibly appeared in the photovoltaic panel system or at the deposit cooling system.
