Italian public prosecutor Ambrogio Cardozio, from the nearby town of Termini Imeris, said he had opened a preliminary investigation into manslaughter and negligent shipwreck. No specific suspects have been named yet.

Prosecutors said they were “focusing on this particular aspect”.
They “want to find out all the people as much as they know, to what extent.” [passengers] Warned.”
Tributes have been paid to Hannah Lynch, who died with her father on a superyacht.
Bayesian’s chief steward Sasha Murray, who was rescued from the boat, described Hannah as “a diamond in a sea of stars”.
“What most people may not have seen was the extraordinarily strong, deep and loving relationship he shared with his parents, whom he adored more than anything,” he added.
Morgan Stanley chairman Jonathan Bloomer, his wife Judith Bloomer, Clifford Chance attorney Christopher Morvillo and his wife Neda Morvillo also died on the boat.

Mike Lynch ‘became like family,’ says former court-appointed guardian
A court-appointed armed guard tasked with making sure Mike Lynch doesn’t go into hiding while facing fraud charges has paid tribute to the tech mogul, saying the security team has “become less detailed and more like family”.
Rollo Igno described Mr Lynch’s daughter Hannah as “a memory of a beautiful soul”.
Mr Igno said he had the “privilege” of spending “every waking moment” with Mr Lynch while he was in custody in San Francisco, describing it as a “life-changing” detail unlike anyone else he worked with.
“As an executive security agent, the number one rule is simple, don’t get too close to the president,” he said.
“They’re not your friends, they’re a client and the relationship is strictly professional. But with Mike, that didn’t fly with him, and for me that reign quickly dissolved.

Tributes to a ‘brave’ and ‘selfless’ friend who died in Bayesian
Friends of Regalto “Rick” Thomas have paid tribute to their ‘brave’ and ‘selfless’ friend.
“Rick could have jumped and survived, I have no doubt about that. But he wouldn’t have left the people overboard and swam,” said his friend Gareth Williams. The Sunday Times.
“I read that the first mate was so young that Rick would have told him, ‘Get off the boat, man, I’m here, I’ve got this.’ That’s how he was.
He added: “He had this infectious smile and a brilliant, baritone voice. He was the kind of person you could sit in a room with — no TV, no music, just be. You didn’t have to say a word. You’d enjoy his company.
