Britain may pay $1m to Brazilian's family
AFP, London
Britain's Metropolitan Police could pay up to one million dollars in damages to the family of the innocent Brazilian who was shot dead in a bungled anti-terror chase in London, a newspaper reported yesterday. The Daily Mail said John Yates, deputy assistant commissioner at Scotland Yard, was expected Monday to make an initial payment to the family of electrician Jean Charles de Menezes, 27. However, legal experts quoted by the Daily Mail believe the force could end up paying up to one million dollars to the impoverished family. Police officials were quoted as saying the final figure will be "very substantial."
