flag A 2025 UK report found 12 officers should have faced misconduct charges for failures in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, but no action can be taken due to retirement.

flag A 2025 Independent Office for Police Conduct report concluded that 12 officers involved in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, which killed 97 people, would have faced gross misconduct charges for failures before, during, and after the tragedy. flag The probe exposed systemic issues, including poor crowd control, attempts to shift blame onto fans, and a cover-up, implicating figures like David Duckenfield and Peter Wright. flag Although 92 misconduct findings were made, no action is possible because all officers have retired—a legal loophole now set to be closed. flag Families called the outcome a “bitter injustice” despite the formal acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
