Colorado Attorney General John Suthers has indicted the owner of a Colorado hotel and employees of a construction company for improper removal of asbestos products that led to the exposure of hotel employees and guests to the dangerous fibers.
The indictment, which was handed down this week, charges that Adam Pietraszek, Nikolai Semenshin, Yarek Gora, Richard Para, New Vision Hotels, and NVH Construction caused or contributed to a hazardous substance incident, and violated both the Air Quality Control Act and the Air Quality Control Act. The charges stemmed from the mismanagement of renovations that were performed at the Frisco Holiday Inn in October 2009.

Upon learning of this, as well as reports that asbestos products were not being removed properly and contaminating the rooms as a result, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment stepped in and halted the renovations. However, after the renovations were stopped, hotel management still sent its own cleaning crews into the rooms to remove any debris and proceeded to rent out the rooms to customers, potentially exposing even more people to loose asbestos fibers.
