British police say they will ask prosecutors to consider criminal charges linked to the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire. The Metropolitan Police said they plan to submit evidence files to the Crown Prosecution Service by the end of September. A charging decision is expected by 14 June 2027, which marks the 10th anniversary of the disaster in London. The proposed scope is wide: police say prosecutors could be asked to consider charges against 57 individuals and 20 organisations. The case concerns the deadliest fire in Britain’s modern history, which killed 72 people. Reporting across outlets notes that the timeline is designed to align with the anniversary and that final decisions will be made by prosecutors after reviewing the material provided by police. The statements also reflect that families and survivors have pressed for accountability as the process moves forward nearly a decade later.
