(AOF) – Alstom, like other companies and managers, was fined a collective sum of nearly 45 million euros by a Brazilian court for a collapse that caused seven deaths on the site in 2007 of a metro line in Sao Paulo. The Sao Paulo state court ruled that their “administrative error” had led to the collapse.
Other sanctioned companies include Brazilian construction and engineering giants OAS (now Grupo Metha), Queiroz Galvao, Camargo Correa and CBPO, a subsidiary of Odebrecht (now Novonor).
This decision, which can be appealed, also prohibits the convicted officials from working in the public sector and the companies involved from contracting public contracts in Brazil for five years.
