The possible crimes include multiple manslaughter and fraud for the 2017 fire which caused 72 victims
AI-generated summary
The Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017 claimed 72 lives. A commission of inquiry attributed the tragedy to speculative maintenance management and the use of flammable panels.
London's Metropolitan Police has formalized the proposed indictment of 54 people - including entrepreneurs and officials - and 20 companies in relation to the investigations into the devastating fire at Grenfell Tower: the public housing skyscraper on the edge of the luxury neighborhood of Chelsea whose fire claimed the lives of 72 people in June 2017, including the young Venetian architects Gloria Trevisan and Marco Gottardi, tenants of one of the apartments on the upper floors of the tower. The types of crimes range from multiple manslaughter, to gross negligence, to violations of health and safety rules, to fraud, to abuse of office in the public administration.
The final decision rests with the Crown Prosecutor's Office
The announcement was made as part of a new investigative update on what was defined as an "announced tragedy", attributed among other things in 2024 by an independent commission of inquiry to factors such as the speculative management of the privatized maintenance of the building and the installation of deadly low-cost decorative panels which proved to be combustible. The final decision on the indictments now lies with the Crown Prosecutor's Office, but is not expected before the deadline of June 2027, the tenth anniversary of the disaster, as reported by the BBC: with the foreseeable start of a trial starting from 2029.
