Metropolitan Police have asked prosecutors to consider manslaughter and other criminal charges against companies and individuals in connection with the Grenfell Tower fire. Seventy-two people died and more than seventy were injured when fire engulfed the 24-storey west London block in June 2017. Police have now submitted evidence concerning twenty companies and organisations and 54 individuals to the Crown Prosecution Service. Potential charges include corporate manslaughter, gross negligence manslaughter, health and safety offences, fraud, and misconduct in public office. The investigation, involving 220 officers, examined the roles of more than 15,000 people and 700 organisations and produced 12,600 pages of evidence. Prosecutors have promised charging decisions before the tenth anniversary of the disaster in June 2027. A public inquiry previously identified decades of failures by government and the building industry and concluded that residents were badly failed through incompetence and dishonesty. Grenfell survivors and bereaved families have welcomed progress but stressed that, after nearly a decade of waiting, criminal accountability must now proceed without unnecessary delay.
