Nine people have been arrested in Albania on suspicion of murder and abuse of power over the collapse of buildings in last month's earthquake, BBC News reports.
Two of those arrested on murder charges owned hotels that collapsed in the city of Durres, one of the areas worst hit.
Both hotels had been built illegally and one of them had also been irregularly legalized, police said.
A total of 51 people died and more than 14,000 people were left homeless after a magnitude 6.4 earthquake hit Albania on November 26.
