Mr de Menezes' family had asked the IPCC to delay its decision until after the inquest into his killing in 2005. Mr de Menezes' cousin said the decision was "a scandal" and should have been delayed until after the inquest.
The three other senior officers were identified as Silver, Trojan 84 and Trojan 80. Vivian Figuierdo said it was "entirely premature" to have made the announcement before the inquest which is expected next year.

In November, the Met Police force was found guilty of breaching health and safety laws over the shooting of Mr de Menezes. Ms Dick was the commanding officer on 22 July 2005 when Mr de Menezes was killed.
But the Old Bailey jury said Ms Dick, who was the commanding officer on the day, bore "no personal culpability" for what went wrong. The three other senior officers were identified as Silver, Trojan 84 and Trojan 80.
The IPCC cannot foresee any circumstances in which new evidence might emerge which would cause any disciplinary tribunal to disregard the jury's rider Independent Police Complaints Commission
In November, the Met Police force was found guilty of breaching health and safety laws over the shooting.
But the Old Bailey jury added a rider to its verdict to say that Ms Dick bore "no personal culpability" for what went wrong.
The IPCC considered whether she was responsible for failures in the planning or management of the operation that amounted to a disciplinary offence, but decided she was not.
In a statement, it said: "The IPCC cannot foresee any circumstances in which new evidence might emerge which would cause any disciplinary tribunal to disregard the jury's rider."
The watchdog said that as the responsibilities of Ms Dick and the other three officers were "intertwined", it could not see how a tribunal could attach personal blame to them but not to her.
Last week, the IPCC ruled that the UK's former top anti-terror officer, Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman, should be given "advice" about his future conduct following his involvement in the shooting.Last week, the IPCC ruled that the UK's former top anti-terror officer, Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman, should be given "advice" about his future conduct following his involvement in the shooting.
