Investigation: Greek Coast Guard tow attempt likely cause of migrant boat disaster

A new investigation into the sinking of the migrant boat off the Greek coast, which probably drowned 500 people, suggests that the ship sank due to towing attempts by the Greek coastguard. The British daily newspaper ‘The Guardian’ reports on this today. The study also states that the Coast Guard tampered with testimonials from survivors and missed several opportunities to rescue the migrants.
