The family of a slain Brazilian man who was mistaken for a terrorist and  shot has reached a settlement with the London Police department regarding the incident.

Brazilian native Jean Charles de Menezes was killed July 22, 2005  by British Officers when they mistook  the  young man to be  a suspect in terrorist attacks.  This came the day after  an ambush on the city’s transit system by an unknown militant group.

London Police chief Paul Stephenson and the Menezes family issued a joint statement acknowledging their financial arrangement and stating that both sides were pleased with the outcome.  A wrongful death lawsuit  was subsequently dropped against the department.

As per the terms of the arrangement, neither side will disclose the specifics of the settlement agreement.
