Thirty-three to be prosecuted over Tunisia terror attack
Thirty-three people are being prosecuted over the Tunisia hotel massacre which left 30 British holidaymakers, including three members of a Black Country family, dead, it has been reported.
Members of the security forces and hotel guards are believed to be among those charged with failing to help tourists.
It comes after a British judge condemned the police response to the deadly attack on the resort as 'at best shambolic, at worst cowardly' at the victims' inquests.
Suzy Richards, from Wednesbury, who lost her son, brother and father in the attack, said she had not been informed about the prosecutions.
Joel Richards, 19, his grandfather Patrick Evans, 78, and uncle Adrian Evans, 44, a Sandwell Council worker from Bilston, died as crazed gunman Seifeddine Rezgui gunned down tourists at the Rui Imperial Marhaba Hotel in 2015.
Ms Richards' other son Owen, who was 16 at the time, survived the attack.
Sofiene Sliti, a spokesman for the Tunisian investigation, said: "The trial on the attack at the Imperial Marhaba Hotel will begin on May 26."
It had previously been revealed that six hotel security guards had been charged for failing to protect holidaymakers.
Ms Richards said: "I knew there had been several arrests but certainly not 33. I don't know who they are or what they have been charged with.
"It is very upsetting not to be kept in the loop.
"We have never been given an option to attend, it is something we would have to fund ourselves.
"There has been very little communication from Tunisia."
The inquests heard how police and tourist security 'deliberately and unjustifiably slowed their response' as holidaymakers fled for their lives.
