Foreign Operators Indicted Over Maryland Key Bridge Crash That Killed Six

A federal indictment unsealed charges two Singapore-based Synergy Marine entities and their Technical Superintendent, plus an Indian national, with conspiracy to defraud the United States and causing the deaths of six construction workers in the March 26, 2024 Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. The defendants are accused of safety violations, obstructing a casualty investigation, and discharging pollutants into the Patapsco River, with potential Clean Water Act and Oil Pollution Act violations; prosecutors contend the Dali’s power losses and alleged fuel-pump practices contributed to the disaster, which caused more than $5 billion in economic damage. The FBI, Coast Guard Investigative Service, and EPA CID are investigating, and DOJ ENRD will prosecute. An indictment is merely an accusation, and defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
