Dutch prosecutors filed criminal charges against Tata Steel's IJmuiden plant on Friday, accusing the company of illegally releasing harmful substances into the environment, according to a statement from the Dutch Public Prosecution Service.
The case follows a 2022 investigation triggered by a complaint from more than 800 residents. Prosecutors allege the plant failed to maintain pollution-control equipment and conducted unauthorized operations that led to toxic emissions.
Tata Steel acknowledged the concerns in a separate statement. The company said it is implementing improvement measures to minimize environmental impact at the site.
