LAWYERS Madden & Finucane, which represents up to 10 Bloody Sunday families, have confirmed they have submitted files calling for the British paratroopers behind the 1972 killings be prosecuted.
Peter Madden, speaking for the Belfast law firm said “files requesting that the authorities should prosecute those responsible for the murders and attempted murders” on Bloody Sunday were lodged on Friday 28th January, two days before the 39th anniversary of the massacre.
What Madden described as “detailed representations” in favour of prosecutions for murder, attempted murder and perjury were submitted to both the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) in the North and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in England.
