Review information is loading.
The Metropolitan Police has submitted its final investigation file on the Grenfell Tower fire to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), bringing prosecutors closer to a decision on possible criminal charges. [1]
The Met said 20 companies and organisations and 54 individuals could face charges. The possible offences include corporate manslaughter, gross negligence manslaughter, health and safety offences, fraud and fraud-related offences, and misconduct in public office. Submitting the file does not itself mean anyone has been charged. [1]
The fire on 14 June 2017 killed 72 people. A public inquiry found in 2024 that it was avoidable. [1]
The Met said its investigation, Operation Northleigh, cost £150m and examined the actions of 15,000 people across 700 organisations. [1]
