U.K. Police Open Inquiry Amid Revelations Mo Farah Was Trafficked as a Child
TimeAPR 2022
This newly agreed settlement marks a major turning point for victims' families who have had to endure decades of suffering with no admittance of culpability by authorities. Negotiations, and the much larger compensation offered to those affected by the tragedy, reflect a public acknowledgement of security failings that led to the loss of innocent life.
Too much focus on the monetary compensation reached in this deal stains the legacy of the Munich massacre victims. Families were not only negotiating for financial settlement but to ensure the legacy and memory of those murdered. A full investigation must now follow into the lapses that allowed such a tragedy to occur.
