The Independent Police Complaints Commission's second and final report on the police shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell tube station two years ago (blog post, Aug 2005) is to be published any minute now. After the first report was released, the Crown Prosecition Service decided there was no basis on which to bring charges against any individual involved in the case.
Reports from the BBC and Guardian (article here, recap of police statements in 2005 here, and comment here) suggest that the IPCC's report is highly critical of the Metropolitan Police, but ultimately is unlikely to resolve the issues of (i) the killing of Mr de Menezes, whom the report itself apparently describes as "completely innocent", and (ii) the allegations of misinformation which have been lodged against the police.
