They absolutely LOVE sinking yachts as a method of killing people. Seriously the next time you read an article about a random small craft sinking in calm waters, wait a few days then check on the story again to see who was on it.
>The story of a boat that sank on Lake Maggiore on 28 May has elements of a spy novel.
>Four people tragically drowned on the picturesque and popular lake south of the Swiss Alps.
>One was a former agent from Israel's spy agency Mossad, two were Italian intelligence officers and the fourth victim was a Russian woman.
>There is huge interest in the accident and public prosecutor Carlo Nocerino has been tasked with finding out what happened. He says 13 of those on board were Italian agents and eight were Israeli agents. Only the captain, Claudio Carminati, and his Russian wife did not work in intelligence.
>But this boat was "suddenly hit by a fierce storm with gusts of over 70km (43 miles) per hour".
>Mr Carminati told investigators that no bad weather had been forecast. The boat was still on the lake after the scheduled return time.
>He is now being investigated for the possible crimes of causing a shipwreck and culpable homicide.
>His wife, Anna Bozhkova, was a 50-year-old Russian woman who had a residence permit to live in Italy.
Another recent one was the recent death of UK billionaire Mike Lynch, whose gigantic pleasure yacht was "suddenly hit by a rogue water spout" then sank to the bottom of the ocean like a lead balloon, killing him. This was after Mr Lynch won a court case in the US against Hewlett Packard, the same HP which was founded by Dave Packard who was the head of the US Department of Defense. Also, Mike Lynch's co-defendant in the same case, who was also exonerated, was tragically run over and killed in a hit and run while out running the day before Mr Lynch's yacht sank (no one was ever found or charged).
