TWO years after the fatal collapse of a Vale dam, victims have brought landmark action against TÜV SÜD, the German technical services company that was responsible for certifying the dam’s safety, in Germany. TÜV SÜD does not believe that it is legally responsible.
The class action is being brought on behalf of the municipality of Brumadinho, represented by its Mayor Avimar de Melo Barcelos, and six family members of one of the victims.
On 25 January 2019, a Vale dam used to store mining waste collapsed releasing a torrent of muddy slurry that buried the surrounding area, including the site’s administrative building and cafeteria, reaching as far as a local community. Since the collapse, 259 people have been confirmed dead and 11 are still missing.
