Piecing together failure of Greek vessel to rescue migrants

Independent evidence is being used to piece together the actions of the Greek coast guard vessel that failed to rescue migrants from a trawler. There is evidence that the trawler sank because the coast guard vessel towed it — which the government's story covers up.

After rescuing some of the migrants, Greek officials stole their phones. The coast guard vessel's cameras, intended to record the facts in such situations, were somehow not in operation. And there is evidence that agents of a secret "security" unit were present.
