One of the 22 people rescued from the migrant boat that sank in the Channel this week has been indicted on manslaughter charges, according to local media reports.

The Dunkirk prosecutor said that the 37-year-old Iranian man had been identified by other passengers as being at the helm of the semi-inflatable, which capsized on Oct. 27 off the French coast.
