Italy Livorno ferry Moby 140 victims want the truth no blame '

Moby Prince, after twenty years no culprit filed the request for storage It risks permanently drop the curtain on the Moby Prince and its 140 deaths. The Prosecution of Livorno has in fact filed the request to dismiss the investigation-a finding, according to what is learned in legal circles, human error, the main cause of the accident.
