The indictment comes through lawyers for human rights organizations, following what is described as the deadliest accident in the Mediterranean.
Among them is the captain of the coast guard boat that was patrolling the area during the night of the incident. He has failed to provide assistance and has put them in danger, according to the indictment.
Also, the former head of the coast guard, a supervisor at the main rescue center in Greece, and several individuals who were on duty on June 13, 2023, are indicted.
