Up to 650 people were feared to have drowned when the overcrowded Adriana fishing vessel sank near Pylos, off the Greek coast, in the early hours of 14 June 2023. Survivors later told the BBC that Greek coastguards had caused their boat to capsize in a botched attempt to tow it and then silenced witnesses. &#8221;It has taken us two years just for these charges to come, even though so many people witnessed what happened,&#8221; one of the survivors, a Syrian man we called Ahmad, said on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The Greek authorities have always denied the claims against them. The Deputy Prosecutor of the Piraeus Naval Court has found that 17 members of the Hellenic Coast Guard should face criminal charges. Among them is the captain of the coastguard ship, the LS-920, who is charged with &#8221;causing a shipwreck&#8221;, leading to the deaths of &#8221;at least 82 people&#8221;. This corresponds to the number of bodies recovered, although it is thought as many as an additional 500 people drowned, including women and children who were all below deck.<\/p>\n<p>The disaster occurred in international waters &#8211; but within Greece&#8217;s rescue zone.The then-Chief of the Coast Guard and the Supervisor of the National Search and Rescue Coordination Centre in Piraeus are among four officials charged with &#8221;exposing others to danger&#8221;. The captain of the LS-920 is also charged with &#8221;dangerous interference of maritime transport&#8221; as well as a &#8221;failure to provide assistance&#8221; to the migrant boat. The crew of the ship are charged for &#8221;simple complicity&#8221; in all the acts allegedly committed by the captain.<\/p>\n<p>A coastguard ship had been monitoring the Adriana for 15 hours before it sank. It had left Libya for Italy with an estimated 750 people on board. Only 104 of them are known to have survived. We&#8217;ve been investigating since the day of the disaster and our series of findings has cast serious doubt on the official Greek version of events.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cp8yjlzd3pvo\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cp8yjlzd3pvo\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/greek-coastguards-charged-over-2023-migrant-shipwreck\/\">Greek coastguards charged over 2023 migrant shipwreck<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1104,18921,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-140250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-greece","tag-migrant-shipwreck","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140250\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
