More than 600 people should be compensated for a false campaign that tried to blame the victims of the disaster.
South Yorkshire and West Midlands police have agreed to release more than 600 people in retaliation for a false police campaign aimed at avoiding the 1989 tragedy in Hallborough and blaming the victims instead, which the bereaved families have repeatedly said was a cover-up.
The organization will pay compensation to the families of its relatives who were among the 96 men, women and children who were illegally killed in Hillsborough, and to those who survived the tragedy, in addition to the trauma and psychological trauma caused by the police operation.
Financial compensation is for psychological damage families and survivors have experienced, as well as paying for medical treatment or counseling. Claims of the public, alleging misconduct in a public office, were first made in September 2015, during a new investigation into how 96 people died.
The investigating judge ruled in favor of the South Yorkshire police 're-imposition of allegations that people at Sheffield Stadium on Wednesday in Hillsborough to support Liverpool in the FA Cup and Nottingham Forest semi-finals caused the tragedy with drunkenness and immorality.
The judge found that none of the Liverpool fans' behavior had contributed to the dangerous situation on the ground, and that 96 people had been illegally killed as a result of the negligence committed by South Yorkshire police officer in charge of the game, Ch Supt David Duckenfield.
South Yorkshire police previously agreed in November 1989 to pay compensation to the families of those killed and injured in the tragedy, amounting to £ 19.8m, according to a 2012 Hillsborough independent panel report.
Sheffield on Wednesday and the developers of the club, Eastwood & Partners, donated £ 1.5m each, while Sheffield City Council, the ground safety officer, donated £ 1m.

In a statement, they said: “With this public complaint of misconduct in public office, 601 victims sought justice and accountability by secret police, organized and dishonest police who suppressed the truth about police responsibility, and blamed football fans for the atrocities at Hillsborough Stadium on April 15, 1989.
"Ninety-six Liverpool fans were illegally killed as a result of police failure that day, while many others suffered physical and mental injuries.
“The grief and heartache caused by the loss of life, as well as the injuries inflicted by the survivors, have been made worse by the lies told and the subsequent burial. As a result of the burial, which had been held for nearly 30 years, the victims, the bereaved and survivors, and their families and loved ones, suffered additional mental injuries.
"There is no money to compensate for their plight, but this agreement allows for the secrecy and its impact on each victim."
The West Midlands has been a force to be reckoned with, but has since been accused of misconduct and a long-running failure by the Independent Police Ethics Office.
The families were unable to speak publicly about the agreement, which was agreed at the end of April, while two South Yorkshire police officers and a police lawyer at the time were still on trial for allegedly disrupting the social justice process by amending police statements after the disaster.
The three defendants were officially released last week after a judge, Mr Justice William Davis, adjourned the trial on the grounds that a public inquiry conducted by Lord Taylor, to which the amended statements were sent, was not a "social justice process".
The defendants all pleaded not guilty, and since their conviction, two of their lawyers have publicly stated that no police officers have been hiding from them after the tragedy. Crown Prosecution Service prosecutor Sarah Whitehouse QC also angered the families by appearing to reduce their 32-year war of attrition. Whitehouse said in court there had been "rumors" that there had been a cover-up.
However, South Yorkshire police agreed to pay for alleged public misconduct, which they said was hidden, during the trial.
South Yorkshire and West Midlands police were called in to comment.
