Brazil Doesn't Believe in British Cover-Up

The Naurgiad has more on the Menendez affair. Key points:

  • The Independent Police Complaints Commission said thatthe officers involved in Menezes's death could face criminal or disciplinary proceedings, and that the commission would not publish its report until any such proceedings were complete.
  • When asked about the possibilities of a police cover-up, Brazilian Ambassador Manoel Gomes Pereira told reporters: "No, at this point, no. ... At the moment, we don't have any reason whatsoever to assume that.'"
  • Police also face criticism that they initially resisted an independent investigation, something the force denies.
