The inquest jury returned an open verdict into the shooting, and concluded police marksman, dubbed C12, did not shout the words “armed police” before opening fire, and a number of failings by that contributed to Mr de Menezes’ death.
Mr de Menezes’ parents and other relatives are serving as consultants for Disney+ series Suspect: The Shooting Of Jean Charles De Menezes.
Writer and executive producer Jeff Pope said: “This is an incredibly important story to tell, and we’ve got a heavyweight ensemble cast in place that will help us examine the events that led to the tragic shooting of the innocent Jean Charles de Menezes.
Suspect: The Shooting Of Jean Charles De Menezes was written by Pope, who was nominated for an Oscar along with Steve Coogan for their screenplay Philomena, produced by Kwadjo Dajan and directed by London To Brighton director Paul Andrew Williams.
At the time, Sir Paul Stephenson, then acting commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said the force accepted “full responsibility” for the death of electrician Mr de Menezes.
