What's driving the attention

Relatives of the Germanwings crash victims have filed lawsuits against Germany, challenging the government's liability for the 2015 tragedy.

Over a decade after the tragic Germanwings flight crash in 2015, relatives of the victims have initiated legal action against the Federal Republic of Germany, seeking damages.
