Class action launched against TUV Sud over Brazil dam collapse

Brazilian plaintiffs have launched a class action lawsuit against German safety inspection company TUV Sud in Munich for allegedly covering up the problems with Brazil’s Brumadinho dam that collapsed and killed hundreds of people in 2019, Deutsche Welle reported. TUV Sud’s Brazilian subsidiary inspected the dam’s retention basins and concluded that they were safe, shortly before the collapse. The plaintiffs are seeking hundreds of millions of euros in compensation.
