Brazil court fines executives and firms for deadly metro cave-in.

A Brazilian court fined executives and companies, including French transportation giant Alstom, nearly $50 million for a 2007 subway construction site collapse in Sao Paulo that killed seven people. Six former directors of the municipal metro company and seven firms involved in the project were fined a collective 240 million reais ($48 million) for their "administrative misconduct" leading to the cave-in. The court also barred the defendants from working in the public sector and banned the companies from government contracts in Brazil for five years.
