A source judicial said that one person was indicted and nine others were presented to a Parisian investigator judge on Thursday, June 30, in connection with the investigation into the sinking in Channel of migrants, which left 27 people dead at the end November. According to this source, which confirms information from RTL and Parisien, 15 people were detained on Sunday and Monday.
Five of them have been released from prison without being charged at this point. One of the five were indicted Wednesday in the judicial investigation that began in December at Paris’s court. He was charged with homicides, involuntary injuries and endangering others. She was taken into custody.
The remaining nine are currently being presented to an investigating magistrate in preparation for an indictment.
27 migrants, aged 7 to 46 years old, were killed in an inflatable boat that sank off Calais on November 24, as they tried to reach Great Britain. 16 Kurds were killed in Iraq; one Kurd was from Iran; three Afghans, three Ethiopians, four Afghans, three Somalians, one Egyptian, and one Vietnamese.
Two men, one an Iraqi Kurd, and one a Sudanese were the only ones who had been saved.
The worst shipwreck since migrants attempted to cross the Channel had caused an uproar in Europe and increased tensions between France, Britain and France.
