We can hardly find anything earlier. It is a criminal action which, obviously, will be formally judged by the Court. Obviously. But I think there are no words to express our disgust, our anger at what happened. The authorities were contacted immediately, the ship turned back, the appropriate actions will be taken. But really it is unimaginable to see such images happening. For a man to lose his life in this way, for his life to be taken away in reality. It’s not that he fell, we saw what happened. It’s a shame what happened. It is a criminal act and I hope that the Justice, after the due process, will impose the most severe punishments” said Pavlos Marinakis in the briefing of the political editors
