Munich (Germany), Sep 28 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Philipp Guelland) A Munich court today opened a civil lawsuit against the German technical inspection agency TUEV for the rupture of the Brumadinho dam in that Brazilian town in the state of Minas Gerais, in 2019, which caused more than 300 fatalities and disappearances.FOOTAGE FROM OUTSIDE THE MUNICH COURT WHERE THE CIVIL LAWSUIT WAS CARRIED OUT AGAINST THE GERMAN COMPANY TUEV FOR NEGLIGENCE AFTER THE BREAKAGE OF THE BRUMADINHO PRESS (BRAZIL), WHICH CAUSED ABOUT 300 VICTIMS
Crosses are placed outside Brazil's National Congress in Brasilia in a tribute to the victims of the Brumadinho dam collapse on the fifth anniversary of the tragedy. January 25 marks five years of the rupture of the dam at the Corrego do Feijao Mine, owned by the mining company Vale. It was holding more than 11 million cubic meters (nearly three billion gallons) of mining waste when it collapsed, unleashing a brown sea of sludge. IMAGES
