French prosecutors have announced a preliminary investigation into whether manslaughter charges should be brought over the Germanwings plane crash.
It is not clear who any possible charges would target.
All 150 people on board, mostly from Spain and Germany, died in the crash in March.
Marseilles prosecutor Brice Robin said there was "no doubt" that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed the Airbus A320 in the French Alps.
Mr Robin said some doctors treating Lubitz felt he was unfit to fly but did not tell his employers because of German laws on patient confidentiality.
He said a preliminary investigation would focus on possible manslaughter charges as a result of the gap between need for patient confidentiality and need for authorities to know.
