Italian prosecutors open manslaughter investigation into superyacht sinking
Briefly

Investigators are baffled that a yacht deemed unsinkable by its manufacturer sank while a nearby sailboat remained largely unscathed. The public prosecutor is exploring potential negligence that led to a catastrophic failure, resulting in the tragic deaths of seven people, including UK tech tycoon Mike Lynch. The inexplicable nature of the yacht's sinking—particularly its classification as 'unsinkable'—has left authorities scratching their heads as to how this disaster could occur.
The public prosecutor's office in Termini Imerese has filed a case against unknown persons, speculating on crimes of negligent shipwreck and multiple negligent manslaughter. Prosecutor Ambrogio Cartosio remarked, 'We are only in the initial phase of the investigation. We can't exclude any sort of development at present,' indicating the evolving nature of the inquiry as evidence unfolds.
