Company NewsProsecutors Investigating Coal CompanyThe Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation of the explosion at Massey Energy's Big Branch mine in West Virginia, law enforcement sources said.The case originated in the U.S. attorney's office in the Southern District of West Virginia, which has prosecuted the coal company for criminal violations of safety standards in the past. A spokesman for that office referred questions to the Justice Department press office in Washington, which declined all comment. Massey spokesman Jeff Gillenwater said the company is aware that investigators are interviewing witnesses at the Big Branch mine but is "not aware of the nature of their investigation. We intend to cooperate in all phases of the accident investigation."The law enforcement source, who asked not to be identified because there was no authorization to comment, said that FBI investigators have interviewed more than a dozen Massey employees and will continue to do so.Massey paid one of the biggest fines in the history of mining following the Aracoma Mine fire in 2006.
