伦敦——英国警方于9月30日表示，他们已要求检察官考虑对2017年格伦费尔塔火灾事件中的数十人提起包括企业过失杀人罪和重大过失杀人罪在内的指控。该火灾导致72人死亡。
LONDON – British police said on Sept 30 they had asked prosecutors to consider charges including corporate manslaughter and gross negligence manslaughter against dozens of people over the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire which killed 72 people.
伦敦警察厅表示，他们已将全部案件文件提交给皇家检察署（CPS）以供其作出起诉决定，而皇家检察署承诺在2027年6月灾难发生十周年之前作出决定。
The Metropolitan Police said they had submitted their full case files to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for charging decisions, which the CPS had committed to making before the 10th anniversary of the disaster in June 2027.
警方还表示，作为对这起二战以来英国最致命火灾的调查的一部分，他们还要求皇家检察署考虑涉及健康与安全违规、欺诈及相关犯罪以及公职人员不当行为的指控。案件文件涉及54名个人及20家公司和组织。
The force said it had also asked the CPS to consider health and safety offences, fraud and fraud-related offences and misconduct in public office as part of its investigation into Britain's deadliest fire since World War II. Case files relating to 54 people and 20 companies and organisations have been sent, after investigators examined the role of more than 15,000 people and 700 organisations.
在调查过程中，调查人员审查了超过15,000名个人和700个组织的角色，警方收集了1.65亿份电子文件、14,700份陈述以及27,000多件证据。
