Brazil probe into Vale dam collapse to conclude within days, prosecutor says

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.
