We have previously posted about the mining tailings dam that collapsed at Brumadinho in Brazil in January this year killing 300 people.
We have posted that the Mining operator ‘knew collapsed dam was at risk’.
It has now been reported that the Brazil dam disaster firms are to face criminal charges.

Brazilian federal police have proposed criminal charges against mining giant Vale and German safety firm Tüv Süd and 13 of their employees over January's deadly dam collapse, reports say.
Police reportedly say both firms used falsified documents that said the Feijão dam was stable.
At least 248 people were killed as a sea of mud engulfed a staff canteen, offices and nearby farms.
The collapse was Brazil's worst industrial accident.
Twenty-two people are still missing.
