Probe into corrupt security claims at Brixton Academy after deadly crush
"We have today launched an inquiry into these allegations which appear to extend beyond the Brixton O2 Academy.
"We will also review licensing arrangements and take appropriate action against any individual or company carrying out such practices as part of our regulatory licensing responsibility across the private security industry."The O2 Academy in Brixton is one of London's most popular gig venues but on Wednesday its licence was suspended until at least 16 April as the investigation continues.
A lawyer for the Metropolitan Police told Lambeth Council's licensing sub-committee how a crowd of about 1,000 people had gathered outside the venue, with some pushing against the doors and forcing them open."Tragically, as we know, two of them died as a result of their injuries. A third remains critically ill and the fourth has been, thankfully, discharged."
The music venue's lawyer, Stephen Walsh KC, said the O2 Academy offered"sincere condolences to the families of those who died during that tragic incident and its genuine concerns for anyone affected by it".
