'Over 750' on board sunken migrant boat

(ANSA) - Catania, April 23 - Prosecutors in Sicily investigating last weekend's boat tragedy said Thursday is was "reasonable" to claim that "over 750 people" were on board the fishing boat that sunk off the coast of Libya.
    Accounts from the 28 survivors have also allowed investigators to establish "the presence of Libyan personnel identified as 'policemen' shortly before departure".
    They allegedly received money, prosecutors said.
    The incident caused dismay and outrage in Italy and beyond, prompting EU leaders to step up efforts to address the growing influx of migrants in the Mediterranean.
