“Grenfell Tower Fire: Police Send Files on 20 Firms and 54 Individuals to CPS” — what this page in the network covers. The Metropolitan Police have handed evidence files on 20 companies and 54 individuals to the Crown Prosecution Service, marking a significant step in the long-running investigation into the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire that killed 72 people. The move, described by the Met as a 'milestone', paves the way for charging decisions based on what police say is the 'very best possible evidence'. The files relate to potential offences including corporate manslaughter, gross negligence manslaughter, and health and safety breaches.
This development brings the prospect of accountability closer for survivors and bereaved families, who have campaigned for justice for over seven years. The CPS will now review the evidence and decide whether to bring criminal charges, a process that could take many months.
