-

» Police charged the former president of the Flamingo soccer club with manslaught­er for a fire that killed 10 teenage players in February.

An investigat­ors report obtained by The Associated Press shows Eduardo Bandeira de Mello and seven others were charged over the fire at the club’s training facility.

The report says Mello and a monitor “could and should have acted to avoid the result, which, by omission, transforms them into the perpetrato­rs” of the fire.
