Vale, Tüv Süd and 16 people become defendants for the Brumadinho disaster

The defendants were all accused of aggravated homicide (270 times), crimes against fauna, crimes against flora and pollution.

The companies Vale SA and Tüv Süd Bureau de Projetos e Consultoria Ltda. were accused of crimes against fauna, flora and the crime of pollution.

Among the defendants is the former CEO of the company Fábio Schvartsman.

As a result of the complaint being accepted, the crime is no longer at risk of being prescribed.

Vale said in a press release that it “reaffirms its deep respect for the families directly and indirectly impacted by the rupture of Dam 1 in Brumadinho and remains committed to repairing and compensating for damages.”

In early 2020, prosecutors in the state of Minas Gerais charged Schvartsman and 15 other people with homicide for the dam disaster.

But later that year a court ruled the case should proceed through slower federal courts rather than state tribunals, a decision upheld by the Supreme Court.

Vale said last week that it plans to spend about 7.8 billion reais ($1.53 billion) this year on repairs related to the Brumadinho disaster.
