Phone hacking: Family of Jean Charles de Menezes targeted
The cousin of Jean Charles de Menezes, the Brazilian man shot dead by police in 2005, has been told that his phone may have been hacked by the News of the World



Mr de Menezes was killed by police marksmen on a tube carriage at Stockwell underground station on July 22 2005, in the wake of attempted terror attacks on London. The 27-year-old Brazilian electrician was mistaken for failed suicide bomber Hussain Osman.

Detectives from Operation Weeting have told Mr de Menezes' cousin, Alex Pereira, that his mobile phone number was found among the documents of Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator used by the News of the World.

The family of Mr de Menezes today accused the police of leaking misinformation about the circumstances of Mr de Menezes' death to News International newspapers.

They wrote to David Cameron asking him to extend the remit of the phone hacking inquiry to investigate whether officers had done so, either for financial benefit or to "besmirch Jean's character" in an attempt to deflect attention from the actions of the Metropolitan Police.

6. You have a bad case of wishful thinking. The US would only superficially investigate their heroes o...

faux news. Remember? George Bush's COUSIN is a top faux news executive in the USA. And the bush crime family is UNTOUCHABLE in this country.

2. Unforgivable. Bleeping filthy insult on top of soulless injury.

What kind of person would dream of sticking his wart-covered snout into the lives of these grieving, innocent people?

Murdoch's evil empire should have been turned back long before they ever got up to this kind of sadistic, criminal rape of the human race.

4. Kicked and recommended.

Relatives of Mr de Menezes wrote to the Prime Minister: "We are conscious that the newspapers owned by News International provided some of the most virulent and often misleading coverage around Jean's death and its aftermath.

"Throughout the investigation, misinformation continued to be leaked to the press that attempted to besmirch Jean's character.

"The publication of these lies about his actions on the day of the shooting included false allegations that Jean Charles was wearing a bulky jacket, had failed to stop after a police warning, had jumped the ticket barriers or had acted suspiciously in the moments leading up to his shooting.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.
