Cutro shipwreck deemed not of particular interest by Italian authorities
This week, the Beyond the Byline podcast delves into the chain of events that led to the sinking of a boat carrying around 200 people off the coast of Cutro, southern Italy, on 26 February 2023 - in which at least 94 people lost their lives.Italian officials at the Frontex monitoring room in Warsaw deemed the sighting of the migrant boat as 'not of particular interest' hours before it hit a shallow point in the water and sank, according to the Frontex incident report obtained by Euractiv.We ask our politics reporter Eleonora Vasques what was written in the report and why a search and rescue mission was not successfully launched earlier.
