Leaked recordings cast further doubt on Greek coastguard's version of events.

The Adriana went down in international waters but within Greece 's rescue zone.

Survivors said coastguard caused their overcrowded fishing boat to capsize in botched attempt to tow it.

The coastguard denied these claims and maintains it did not try to rescue those onboard because they were not in danger and said they wanted to reach Italy .

Greek court threw out charges against nine Egyptian men who were accused of causing the shipwreck last year .

At least six survivors told the BBC the coastguard had caused their boat to capsize and then pressured them to frame the Egyptians .

Human rights groups have said they have strong reservations about the integrity of the Greek investigation.
