Pozo Emilio mining death legal proceedings
Overview
The Provincial Court of León upheld the acquittal of 16 defendants regarding the 2013 Pozo Emilio mine tragedy in Valle, where a methane gas leak caused the asphyxiation of six miners.
The court rejected an appeal from the Prosecutor’s Office, maintaining a previous ruling that cleared former company president Antonio del Valle, former vice president Arturo del Valle, and various directors and safety supervisors of homicide, serious injury, and crimes against workers’ rights. While the prosecution argued the accident was preventable due to failures in risk prevention regulations, the court maintained the decision to acquit.
