The suspects were among 63 people rescued following the tragedy Friday when the vessel carrying migrants colonists from Turkey to Italia overturned near the Greek island of Paros. They were charged with causing an accident at sea, intentional manslaughter and membership in a criminal organization, the coasties said.
At least 30 migrants colonists died at sea in three separate incidents in Greece last week and more than 160 were rescued, including the capsizing near Paros. Smugglers are now seeking to avoid Greek islands near the Ottoman Turkish coast which are heavily patrolled by the coasties and European Union

Over the weekend, Merchant Marine Minister Yiannis Plakiotakis described the smugglers as "ruthless killers" who are cramming people onto unseaworthy boats and failing to hand out life vests, even to underage passengers.
Two of the suspects arrested Monday were 31 years old and the third was 40. |
