Greek Coast Guard May Have Caused Disastrous June Shipwreck, Which Likely Killed Over 500 Migrants

HeadlineJul 12, 2023

A shipwreck off the coast of Greece that killed at least 81 migrants last month may have been caused by the Greek Coast Guard, which later tried to cover up its responsibility. That’s according to a joint probe by several news outlets, including The Guardian, which suggests the Greek Coast Guard’s efforts to tow the vessel actually destabilized it and ultimately caused it to capsize. Over 500 migrants are still missing and feared dead.
