Court orders BHP giant to compensate for dam destruction in Brazil.

British court finds BHP responsible for disaster at dam in Brazil

According to The Sun: Ten years have passed since a wave of toxic waste claimed the lives of 19 people, and now the large mining company BHP has been held accountable for this disaster caused by the dam collapse.

Today, the High Court in London ruled that BHP is liable for the deaths resulting from the collapse of the Fundao dam, which occurred on November 5, 2015, in the city of Mariana in southeastern Brazil.

"This is a just verdict for the victims and their families who have suffered because of this disaster," said the lawyer for the plaintiffs.

The company will now have to face financial and legal consequences for this tragedy, which caused serious harm to the environment and the local community.

The legal proceedings lasted for several years, and this ruling represents an important step in the fight for justice for the victims. BHP's acknowledgment of guilt could open up new opportunities for compensation to victims and changes in safety approaches in the industry, as such disasters should not be repeated in the future.
