Justice for Grenfell may not come before the end of the decade, former chief prosecutor warns
Grenfell Tower in west London
PROSECUTIONS should have been prioritised over the Grenfell inquiry, campaigners said today, following warnings that justice could be delayed until the end of the decade.
The Metropolitan Police said it would take 12-18 months to examine the inquiry’s report, which was published in full this week, and bring criminal charges.
But former director of public prosecutions Lord Macdonald warned that justice for those responsible could be delayed until 2029.
