Piraeus, Greece – In a shocking revelation, audio recordings have emerged in connection with the tragic incident where a passenger was pushed from a ferry in Piraeus port to his death by drowning. The recordings captured a crew member allegedly stating to his captain, “I thought he was black, Pakistani,” shedding disturbing light on the events that unfolded.
The audio recordings, made public by broadcaster MEGA, contain dialogues between the captain and crew of the vessel Blue Horizon shortly after the tragic incident claimed the life of Antonis Karyotis. The crew’s conversations about the deceased passenger are marked by insensitivity, as he is referred to as a “fool.”
The crew member involved in the incident can be heard in the audio, saying, “I thought he didn’t have a ticket. I thought he was black, Pakistani, because he was out there walking around. But he didn’t show us any ticket. All he said to me was ‘I will travel.'”
The emergence of these audio recordings has added a troubling dimension to the investigation surrounding the passenger’s death. Authorities are now faced with not only determining the circumstances of the incident but also examining the crew’s actions and statements in the aftermath.
As the investigation continues, questions regarding accountability, potential racial bias, and the events leading up to the tragic incident remain at the forefront. The audio recordings serve as a crucial piece of evidence in piecing together the sequence of events and the mindset of those involved.
