💨 Abstract

Braskem, a petrochemical firm, and 19 individuals were formally accused by Brazilian police for their role in ground sinking in Maceio, attributed to salt mining activities. Thousands of families were displaced from affected areas. The accusations include pollution, damage to public property, and use of false reports. Braskem has contributed to the investigation and stated it has acted within sector laws, but did not comment on additional documents obtained by Reuters.
