The apologies of the three crew members of the “Blue Horizon” ship to the Piraeus prosecutor’s office for the death of the 36-year-old passenger Antonis Karyotis have been completed.

Regarding the lieutenant who is hospitalized with an ischemic episode, the investigator went to the hospital to apologize.

Then, after they are taken to the public prosecutor, an investigator and public prosecutor are expected to meet to decide on their criminal treatment.

Accused are the captain, the lieutenant, the captain and the captain of the ship, who submitted an apologetic statement.

It is recalled that the 36-year-old, in his attempt to board the liner for Heraklion, Crete, was pushed back by members of the Blue Horizon crew, resulting in his falling into the sea and his death.

According to information, the master who was accused of dangerous interference with maritime traffic was additionally prosecuted for fatal exposure to danger.

He himself in his apology is said to argue that he did the right thing according to the regulations when he was informed that there is a person in the sea and informed the coast guard.

For his part, the governor in his apology reportedly claims, according to information, that he takes responsibility for what happened but does not accept the legal characterization of the act as homicide by possible intent. “He stepped on the claw of the catapult. He slipped and so did I. He fell. I wanted to jump down to help but the ship had already moved away,” he reportedly claimed in his apology. He added that when he “turned back to get life-saving equipment the man had suffocated from the twisting”.
