German authorities have confirmed they're investigating 16 people on suspicion of manslaughter and negligence relating to last summer's Love Parade tragedy at which 21 people were crushed to death. Top cops and senior Love Parade staff are amongst those facing prosecution though Duisburg Mayor Adolf Sauerland and Love Parade owner Rainer Schaller are not currently in the frame. "The determination of an initial suspicion does not necessarily mean that the accused will have to answer to a court," ran a statement by the public prosecutor's office. 21 revellers were crushed to death in a road tunnel which served as the entry and exit point to the Duisberg site after a crowd bottleneck developed trapping thousands of people inside the tunnel.
