The family of shot Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes are due at court to fight the decision not to prosecute police officers over his death.
The Brazilian was shot after police mistook him for a suicide bomber on a London Tube train on 22 July last year.

Fifteen officers were investigated, but the Crown Prosecution Service decided there was “insufficient evidence” to bring individual prosecutions.

The Metropolitan Police face a trial under health and safety laws.

The force is accused of failing to provide for the health, safety and welfare of Mr Menezes, 27, on the day he was shot seven times in the head at Stockwell Tube station.

The review is likely to go on for two days and will be heard at the High Court in London by Lord Justice Richards, sitting with Mr Justice Forbes and Mr Justice Mackay.

The Menezes family’s lawyers have said the handling of the case has “the appearance of a stitch-up” and amounted to a breach of his family’s human rights.

A spokesman for the Jean Charles de Menezes family campaign said: “The Met’s organisational failure and flawed tactics led to Jean’s death.

“But within the Met, individuals devised the shoot-to-kill policy, individuals ordered Jean’s killing and individuals shot the seven bullets in his head.

“We are bringing this challenge because we believe that individuals should bear responsibility for this crime.

“Otherwise a message is sent out that police officers can kill with impunity.”
