A number of people are reportedly
under investigation by the Crotone Public Prosecutor's Office in
order to ascertain responsibility for the failure to rescue a
boat loaded with migrants that crashed, due to the force of the
sea, a few dozen metres from the shore at Cutro in Calabria on
26 February with 94 confirmed victims and an unspecified number
of missing, judicial sources said Thursday.
The people who have been in the register of suspects are
reportedly members of the rescue system that should have been
activated to help the migrants after the boat was detected
crossing the Mediterranean, the sources said.
This is why Crotone prosecutors ordered a search Thursday of the
Rome offices of EU border agency Fontex, the Guardia di Finanza
tax police and the Italian Coast Guard, they said.
