Grenfell fire: 58 people and 19 companies face potential charges over tragedy, Met reveals

A total of 58 people and 19 companies have been identified as suspects who could face charges over the Grenfell fire disaster, the Met said on Wednesday as it vowed to continue the fight to obtain justice for the victims’ families.

In a Scotland Yard briefing, the force said it had already “submitted eight of 20 advice files to the Crown Prosecution Service” and interviewed more than 50 suspects under caution for a total of more than 300 hours over the tragedy, which claimed 72 lives as fire ripped through the tower block in west London on 14 June, 2017.
