París. La familia de George Floyd, el afrodescendiente muerto a manos de un policía el pasado 25 de mayo, llegó a un acuerdo civil con la ciudad de Minneapolis para recibir una compensación de $27 millones, informaron este viernes la ciudad estadounidense y los representantes del fallecido.

“Este es el mayor acuerdo extrajudicial por un caso de muerte injusta de un hombre negro y envía un potente mensaje de que las vidas negras importan y que la brutalidad policial contra las personas de color debe terminar”, indicaron los abogados de la familia en un comunicado sobre el acuerdo, que no finaliza el proceso penal contra el agente Derek Chauvin y tres compañeros más por la muerte de Floyd.
