In May 2017, Salman Abedi committed suicide during the concert of the American pop star Ariana Grande. 22 people died in the attack and about a thousand people were injured.
In Britain, on Friday, the court sentenced two injured in an attack on a concert in Manchester in 2017 to a total of 45,000 pounds, i.e. more than 54,200 euros. The payer is a former TV producer who had claimed in videos and a book that they were “crisis actors” hired by the state as part of an elaborate scam.
Martin Hibbert received a spinal cord injury in the attack and his daughter Eve severe brain injury.
Former TV producer Richard Hall claimed to have acted in the public interest in filming the daughter outside her home. However, the court upheld Hibbert’s claim of harassment.
Judge Karen Steyn called Hall’s behavior a “negligent, indeed reckless abuse of media freedom”. Steyn ordered Hall to pay Hibbert and her daughter £22,500 each, or more than €27,100.
