Greek coastguard chief to be prosecuted over deadly migrant shipwreck
The Greek coastguard chief is set to face prosecution in connection with a deadly migrant shipwreck that occurred in the Aegean Sea. The incident took place on September 15, 2021, near the island of Rhodes, resulting in the deaths of 27 people, including children.
The decision to prosecute the coastguard chief comes after an investigation revealed alleged negligence and failure to perform his duties during the rescue operation. According to the findings, the coastguard chief reportedly delayed the response to distress calls from the sinking vessel, leading to the tragic outcome.
The prosecution of the coastguard chief has sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting the move as a step towards accountability for the lives lost in the shipwreck. However, others have criticized the decision, arguing that the coastguard chief was merely following protocol and facing challenging circumstances at the time of the incident.
The victims’ families have expressed hope that the prosecution will shed light on the circumstances that led to the tragedy and bring justice for their loved ones. Meanwhile, the defense team representing the coastguard chief has stated that they will vigorously contest the charges, maintaining that their client acted according to the protocols in place.
The case is expected to proceed to trial in the coming months, where further details of the incident and the actions of the coastguard chief will be scrutinized.
