Watch how the millionaires superyacht tragedy unfolded after a storm near Sicily. British tech tycoon Mike Lynch was among those discovered inside the wreck of sunken Bayesian after divers gained access to the ship after three days of searches.
A lawyer representing the builder of the Bayesian superyacht who filed a £186 million lawsuit against Mike Lynch 's widow and crew without permission has been sacked.
'There is absolutely no truth in the story that TISG has filed a lawsuit. The lawyer in question, who has worked with us for eight years acted completely off his own back. 'It will not be released as it contains claims that have not been sanctioned by us and the case is still being investigated so it isn't even possible to file a case.'
TISG vehemently denied that it had authorised the lawsuit and said it ordered Bertuccelli to withdraw the claim.A source close to the family told the Times: 'The Italian Sea Group should be ashamed. Giovanni Costantino is a disgrace, desperately trying to shift blame. He rushed to the media before all the bodies had even been recovered, showing his lack of decency. Now, it seems, he wants to sue his own clients.
MailOnline has attempted to contact Mr Bertuccelli at his company based in Viareggio, Italy, several times but he has not responded. Mr Costantino also said the fact the yacht took 16 minutes to sink meant there was ample time for the passengers and crew to be saved.
