LONDON, Dec 2 (Reuters) - A major investigation into the 1989 Hillsborough soccer stadium crush which led to the deaths of 97 Liverpool supporters concluded on Tuesday that 12 mostly senior former police officers would have had cases to answer for gross misconduct.
The fans, many of them young, died in an overcrowded, fenced-in enclosure at the ground in Sheffield, northern England, at an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest on a sunny spring afternoon. It was one of the world's worst stadium disasters.
