STORYLINE:
Authorities in Bangladesh filed murder charges on Monday against dozens of people for their roles in the 2013 collapse of a garment factory building that killed more than 1,100 people.
The charges were filed against 41 people, including the building’s owner, Sohel Rana, and his parents and more than a dozen government officials, according to lead investigator, Bijoy Krishna Kar of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
The April 2013 collapse of Rana Plaza, located just outside Dhaka, highlighted grim conditions in Bangladesh’s garment industry.
Investigators initially said the accused – who also include the owners of the five factories that the building housed – would be charged with culpable homicide, but they later changed their plans due to the gravity of the accident.
If convicted of murder, the defendants could face the death penalty.
