Titolo: "giustizia" inglese : No charges for Menezes officers

No charges for Menezes officers 
No police officers are to be prosecuted over the fatal shooting of Jean
Charles de Menezes at a Tube station last July. 
But the Metropolitan force will be charged under health and safety laws. 
The Crown Prosecution Service said there was "insufficient evidence" to
prosecute any individual over the death at Stockwell, south London, on 22
July. 
Alex Pereira, a cousin of Brazilian Mr Menezes, 27, who was shot seven
times in the head, said the decision was "unbelievable" and "ridiculous". 
"It's unbelievable what they sent to us today because we had to wait for a
year and it was a hard year for us," Mr Pereira told a news conference. 
Mr Menezes was shot by police officers after being mistaken for a suicide
bomber. 
Reacting to the CPS decision over health and safety, the Met Police said
in a statement it was "concerned and clearly disappointed". 
But on the decision not to prosecute individual officers it was "pleased
for the officers and their families who have faced much uncertainty over
the last year". 
Critical report 
On 22 July 2005, a surveillance team had been monitoring a block of flats
in Tulse Hill, south London, where Mr Menezes lived, in the belief that a
man wanted in connection with the previous day's attempted suicide
bombings in London resided there. 
  The two officers who fired the fatal shots did so because they thought
that... if they did not shoot him, he would blow up the train, killing
many people

Q&A: Menezes charges  
When Mr Menezes emerged from the flats, he was wrongly identified as the
suspect and followed to Stockwell, where he was shot as he boarded a Tube
train. 
Senior CPS reviewing lawyer Stephen O'Doherty said the two officers who
fired the fatal shots could not be prosecuted for murder or any related
offences because they had "genuinely believed" he was a suicide bomber. 
"The two officers who fired the fatal shots did so because they thought
that Mr de Menezes had been identified to them as a suicide bomber and
that, if they did not shoot him, he would blow up the train, killing many
people." 
Despite mistakes made in planning and communication by officers, there had
been "insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction
against any individual police officer". 
The CPS said the office of Metropolitan Police Commissioner would be
prosecuted under sections three and 33 of the 1974 Health and Safety at
Work Act for "failing to provide for the health, safety and welfare" of Mr
Menezes on 22 July. 
Organisational failings 
An Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) report, handed to the
CPS in January but not yet made public, is said to be highly critical of
the surveillance operation and police control room staff. 
It is said to conclude that a series of organisational failings and
communication difficulties had resulted in two experienced marksmen
shooting dead an innocent man. 
  Despite the uncertainty this prosecution will create we will not shrink
from our key role of protecting public safety

The IPCC said the question of potential disciplinary action against any
individual officer would be considered under the Police Reform Act 2002
and its full report would be published as soon as "legal considerations"
allowed. 
Shami Chakrabarti, director of campaign group Liberty, said public
confidence could not be restored until the IPCC report was in the public
domain. 
"I have to say that I think it's pretty unacceptable that we are now one
year on and there's still no full rigorous account of what happened," she
told BBC News. 
'Continued support' 
A number of police officers were served with "regulation nine" notices and
interviewed under caution by the IPCC. 
They included Commander Cressida Dick, who was the designated senior
officer responsible for the operation. 
In its statement, the Met Police said Commander Dick and other officers
whose actions were scrutinised "deserve our continued support at this
time". 
"We acknowledge and support today's decision by the CPS not to charge any
officer with criminal offences for their part in the events of 22 July,"
it continued. 
"However, we are concerned and clearly disappointed at today's decision to
prosecute the Metropolitan Police Service for breaches of health and
safety. 
"Despite the uncertainty this prosecution will create we will not shrink
from our key role of protecting public safety."

You must be joking...
Un poveretto innocente e' stato crivellato di colpi e se ne escono con

Questo vuol dire che i poliziotti saranno incriminati collettivamente 
piuttosto che individualmente.
Ricordo che all'epoca del terrorismo in Italia, ai posti di blocco sono 
morti pareccchi automobilisti incolpevoli, senza che nessun poliziotto 
sia mai stato incriminato.

Bene, vuol dire che finalmente le forze di polizia inglesi hanno 
raggiunto gli stessi  standard di professionalita', accountability e 
rispetto dell'incolumita' pubblica che la PS italiana aveva negli anni 70.
