Police hand CPS Grenfell prosecution files nearly a decade after fire

Original: Nearly a decade late(r) & the Police have finally handed the CPS files for potential prosecutions linked to the Grenfell

Scotland Yard has passed files to the Crown Prosecution Service outlining potential criminal prosecutions connected to the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London, which killed 72 people. Commenters reacted with frustration that charges could come almost ten years after the disaster, saying justice delayed is justice denied, though many voiced hope the courts will finally examine those responsible.

Why now: The long-awaited police referral to the CPS marks a possible turning point in the decade-long fight for accountability over Grenfell.
