Four senior figures in the Greek coastguard, including Commander Tryfon Kontizas, are facing criminal prosecution for negligent manslaughter related to a 2023 migrant boat disaster near Pylos, where up to 650 people drowned. Survivors claim a botched towing attempt by coastguards caused the vessel Adriana to capsize. Despite previous denials of wrongdoing, a prosecutor has recommended trial for the officers involved, citing charges of negligence and exposure to danger.
