Four people have been arrested and charged* with involuntary manslaughter in France following the fatal sinking of a migrant boat in the Channel, reports the BBC.
Six men died after the vessel they were aboard got into difficulty near Calais on Saturday.
More than 50 other people were rescued by French and British coastguards.
French judges are also reportedly considering further charges against the Iraqi and Sudanese suspects.
At least two of those detained are thought to have links to human trafficking networks, according to French media.
The people on board were reported to be mainly Afghan, with some Sudanese also present.
Karim was one of about 10 people who was turned away from boarding the vessel due to overcrowding, despite paying people smugglers €2,000 ($2,200; £1,700) for a place.
He told the BBC the smugglers promised him a "good boat" - something at least 10m (32ft) long - but what they were given was only 3m long.

*Editor's note: Under a change to the French legal system introduced in 1993, a magistrate can decide if a suspect should be 'placed under investigation' (mis en examen), which is a status one step short of being charged (inculpé), if there is 'serious or concordant' evidence that they committed a crime. Some English-language media describe this status, peculiar to French criminal law, as that of being charged. In fact, it is only at the end of an investigation that a decision can be made to bring charges, in which case the accused is automatically sent for trial.
