German boat captain faces 20 years for “rescuing” migrants

So it’s a bit misleading, it sounds like she came across some drowning people and helped them. But she is accused of smuggling over 1000 people and from what I can see, actively made multiple trips to the coasts of Libya to bring migrants into Italy. People are petitioning for her to not face trial. But it seems reasonable to me she be investigated and questioned in a court of law. She is accused of colluding with human smugglers and staging fake rescues. She should be asked basic questions like did she engage in child trafficking imo. How did she know who these people are and who these children where?
