RIO DE JANEIRO - A criminal investigation into the fatal collapse of a dam owned by mining firm Vale SA should be concluded in the coming days, a Brazilian prosecutor said on Tuesday, with charges to follow.
“State prosecutors are working with the state police, federal prosecutors and federal police, and we’re of the conviction that we’ll deliver a solution in the coming days,” Antônio Sérgio Tonet, the top prosecutor in the state of Minas Gerais, told journalists.In January, a tailings dam at a Vale-owned mine in Minas Gerais collapsed, unleashing more than 12 million cubic meters of mining waste on the small town of Brumadinho and killing hundreds.
Tonet’s comments came as an investigative committee set up by Minas Gerais’ state assembly delivered a report to the prosecutor suggesting that 11 Vale employees and two TUV SUD employees be indicted for their alleged roles in the disaster.
