BUDAPEST - A Hungarian court on Saturday ordered the arrest of the captain of a passenger cruiser that collided with a pleasure boat that capsized on the Danube, killing South Korean tourists on board, although it left open the possibility of granting him bail.
No formal charges have been brought against the 64-year-old, identified by Hungarian police as C. Yuriy from Odessa, but his arrest by a Budapest municipal court in effect means he will not leave the city while the case is pending.The court ordered his arrest for one month with the possibility of release on a 15 million forint bail, prosecution deputy spokesman Ferenc Rab told Reuters.
That would leave the wreckage very close to the surface, according to sonar imaging, and should make it easier to search it for bodies and prepare to remove it from the riverbed, something divers have been unable to do under the current hostile conditions. “He still feels distraught over the number of victims this accident produced and asked us to convey his condolences to the families of the victims.”
