"The biggest ever independent investigation into police wrongdoing is to be carried out following a damning report into the Hillsborough disaster.
The IPCC police watchdog and director of public prosecutions have announced they will both launch inquiries into possible crimes committed by police.
The IPCC said both serving and former officers would be investigated over the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans in 1989.
The Hillsborough Family Support Group said it was "too good to be true".
The Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer will review evidence relating to how the 96 fans died, which could lead to charges of manslaughter through gross negligence.
Meanwhile, the IPCC said it would look at whether there was a criminal cover-up by South Yorkshire Police of failings by the force.
A "large number" of current and former officers now face investigation over claims made in a report on the Hillsborough disaster, the IPCC said."
