MOSCOW, February 23 (RIA Novosti) - Investigators interrogated Thursday an architect who designed the Basmanny market building in central Moscow after a tragic accident that had killed 47 and injured 29 people so far, a prosecutor's office official said.
"He was questioned in connection with the investigation," the official said referring to Nodar Kancheli, who also designed the Transvaal Park building in the capital that collapsed on February 14, 2004 killing 28 people.
"We are planning to interrogate him in the future depending on the results of further investigation," the official said.
The architect said the accident could have been caused by improper maintenance of the building or by excessive amount of snow on its roof.
