The Metropolitan Police Authority is denying allegations that it has shelved a report into the brutal public execution of innocent electrician Jean Charles de Menezes for political reasons.
Last November, members of the MPA decided to hold an investigation into the knock-on effects of the shooting. A spokesman said it was “gross misrepresentation” to claim the report has been delayed because it criticises Commissioner Sir Ian Blair, saying that the report’s non-appearance was entirely due to the “huge volumes” of “meticulous analysis” involved, and that it had definitely not just been a cynical PR stunt to make the authority look concerned at a time when the matter was higher up the news agenda.
The report is expected to be published in several months, years or geological epochs.
