Sarà pubblico il rapporto sulla morte di Pat Finucane e includerà documenti segreti

Secret files to be included in Pat Finucane report

Pat FinucaneHighly-classified documents will be included in the published report of a Government-ordered review into the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane.

Sir Desmond de Silva QC, the barrister who led the inquiry, said the disclosure was being made to ensure public confidence.

He said: “The inclusion of a volume of normally highly classified documents is clearly an exceptional step for a review such as this to take.

“I decided that it was necessary to include these documents in view of the controversy surrounding this case and to ensure public confidence in my report.”

The £1.5m review is due to be published the week beginning December 10.

Mr Finucane was gunned down in his north Belfast home by loyalist paramilitaries in 1989. The murder of the Catholic father-of-three was one of the most controversial of the Northern Ireland Troubles, with allegations the State colluded to facilitate the killing.

Prime Minister David Cameron has accepted collusion took place and has apologised to the Finucane family.

There is nothing in the de Silva report to endanger the lives of individuals or put national security at risk, Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers said yesterday.
