Greek Second Officer of Costa Concordia Ship Set Free

Greek Second Officer Dimitris Christidis of Costa Concordia cruise ship, which had 4,200 people on board when it capsized last Friday off Italy’s shore, was finally set free.

Christidis’ name was repeated many times during the telephone conversations between the captain of the ship, Schettino, and the Livorno Port Authority chief Gregorio De Falco, who was repeatedly telling the captain to get back on board to help passengers.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office of Italy decided that no charges will be brought against Christidis, and that there is no reason he should remain in custody.

Christidis is of Greek origin but does not have Greek citizenship, since he is currently a citizen of Italy.
