May 7 (Reuters) - Brazil's government on Tuesday filed a request before a federal court in Minas Gerais state asking that miners Vale VALE3.SA , BHP (BHP) and their joint venture Samarco pay 79.6 billion reais ($15.73 billion) for the collapse of a tailings dam in 2015.
The petition from the country's solicitor general's office also requests the court to block the companies' assets if the amount is not paid within 15 days, according to a statement.
