French prosecutors have reportedly begun a preliminary probe into whether manslaughter charges can be brought over the Germanwings plane crash.
However, it is not clear exactly what possible charges can be levelled, reports the BBC.
All 150 people, who were onboard, died in the crash in March, as co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed the Airbus A320 into the French Alps.
Both Germanwings and Lufthansa have maintained that the 27-year-old pilot had cleared all fitness tests. The latter, however, admitted later that the co-pilot had suffered from severe depression in 2009 while undergoing training to get his pilot's licence.
