Robert Hamill was attacked by a loyalist mob in 1997 The Public Prosecution Service has said three people will be charged in connection with the sectarian killing of Robert Hamill.
Mr Hamill, a 25-year-old Catholic, was beaten to death by a loyalist mob in Portadown, County Armagh, in 1997.
Claims that police failed to intervene are the subject of a public inquiry.
The PPS decision followed a request from the inquiry team to reconsider a decision not to prosecute an individual.
In a statement released on Tuesday the PPS confirmed that following a review of the evidence it had concluded there was a case to be answered.
“The test for prosecution is met in respect of two persons for an offence of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, and one person for an offence of doing an act with intent to pervert the course of justice,” the statement said.
The inquiry began its public hearings in January 2009 and held its closing submissions hearings in December 2009.
It heard evidence in person from 174 witnesses and witness statements from a further 37 witnesses.
Robert Hamill, a father-of-three, suffered serious head injuries and died 11 days after the attack.
