Today the Metropolitan Police has passed its Grenfell investigation files to the Crown Prosecution Service. It has taken more than nine years to get here. Nine years, and no one has been held criminally accountable for the deaths of our 72 loved ones.
The CPS must now decide whether to bring charges. We expect the Met and the CPS to do everything in their power to make sure this case moves forward without further unnecessary delay. Our families have waited long enough.
We want those responsible to face justice. If people are found guilty of crimes that cost our loved ones their lives, we want to see them behind bars. Only then will people see that there are real consequences for what happened at Grenfell.
No family should have to fight this hard, for this long, for justice.
