(BBC) The operators of Manchester Arena where 22 were killed in a terror attack have denied accusations of “penny pinching” and putting people’s lives at risk.
And on the night SMG put the arena’s terrorism risk level at low despite the national threat level being “severe,” the inquiry into the attack heard.
It also heard the firm asked for a threat level review after the 2015 Paris attack in case “the horror … befell one of our venues.”
The 2017 suicide bomb killed 22 people.
A lawyer acting on behalf of some of the bereaved families accused SMG of not paying for adequate security.
