Italian prosecutors have opened an investigation into the deaths of seven victims of the sinking of a luxury yacht off the coast of Sicily for manslaughter. Ambrogio Cartosio, head of the Termini Imerese prosecutor’s office in Palermo, says that so far the investigation has not pointed to any specific person. “We are only in the initial phase. At this stage, precisely because the investigation can develop in any way, we are not ruling out anything at all,” he says. “This tragedy would be even more heartbreaking if our investigations were to prove that the sinking of the ship was caused by actions incompatible with the maritime code.”
They tried to save themselves without success amidst panic and anguish.
Meanwhile, details have emerged this weekend suggesting that as the ship sank, according to some accounts taking less than a minute, the people on board desperately tried to save themselves. Bentivoglio Fiandra, head of the Palermo fire department, explains that “The bodies were found in the upper part of the ship, “As it was clear that people were trying to take shelter in cabins on the left side.” This indicates that they had been looking for escape routes as the ship was sinking bow first, before capsizing onto its right side during a sudden storm in the early hours of Monday morning.
