Brazil criticizes Britain for

Brazil's government voiced "disapproval" that British authorities would not charge several London police over the killing of an innocent Brazilian and warned it was considering criminal proceedings.

"To show its disapproval of the decision in light of the circumstances in which the tragic death occurred, the foreign ministry instructed the consulate general to discuss with its lawyers the future prospects for a criminal trial," the government said in a statement released late Friday.

This was a response to the British Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) watchdog's report that at least 11 of those involved in the death of Jean Charles de Menezes will not be disciplined due to a lack of evidence.

The commission added that no decision had yet been taken on the four most senior officers involved in the 27-year-old electrician's death two years ago.

The government in Brasilia added that it had instructed its London embassy to express its "displeasure. With the situation" to the British authorities.

de Menezes was shot seven times in the head by London's metropolitan police as he boarded a train at Stockwell underground station in south London on July 22, 2005. He died the next day.

The shooting happened amid heightened security the day after an alleged failed attempt to carry out suicide bombings in London. Two weeks earlier, four Islamist extremists had bombed three underground trains and a bus, killing themselves and 52 others.
