FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda - Cocaine was found on his hair, but not within the hair itself
- The drug hasn’t been found in his urine either – suggesting he hadn’t consumed it

Calls have been made to test Costa Concordia cruise captain Francesco Schettino again for drug use
Traces of cocaine have been found on a hair sample from the captain of the stricken Costa Concordia.
But experts say the discovery does not prove that Francesco Schettino, charged with abandoning his post when the cruise ship ran aground last month, had used the drug.
The cocaine was not found within the actual fabric of Schettino’s hair or in his urine – the usual signs that someone ingested the drug.
Stefano Zerbi, representing some of the survivors, described the results as ‘very strange’, saying he believed the samples ‘more than anything else, had been badly preserved and contamination might have resulted’.
Experts have also suggested that Schettino may have been around the cocaine even if he did not consume any.
The cruise liner, carrying more than 4,000 passengers, crashed into a reef near a tiny Tuscan island on January 13, tipping over on to its side. As many as 32 people on the ship are believed to have died in the accident.
Schettino, 52, immediately fell under
suspicion for his actions that day and Italian prosecutors have charged
him with manslaughter and leaving his position before all of the
passengers and crew were evacuated.
Schettino is under house arrest in
his home near Naples while he is investigated for alleged manslaughter,
causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship.
Captain Schettino was branded a coward after his cruise liner ran aground off the Italian coast
The Costa Concordia hit rocks off Tuscan island, Italy, and keeled over on January 13
He has denied abandoning ship and insisted the reef was not marked on navigational charts.
Questions have been raised about his behaviour on the bridge in the critical moments before the ship ran aground.
Domnica Cemortan, 25, from Moldova, was seen cavorting with Captain Francesco Schettino in the minutes before the Costa Concordia cruise liner foundered on rocks

Italian
authorities believe 52-year-old Schettino – dubbed Captain Coward – may
have been distracted from his command by trying to impress the dancer.
Miss Cemortan, who has a two-year-old
daughter, had worked as a translator for the Concordia but was on
holiday on the ship at the time of Friday night’s disaster.
A grainy photograph was taken of her on the bridge.
Thirty-two people are believed to have died, including 15 whose bodies have not been found.
Mr Chiarotti was described as expressing confidence in the results. ‘We will be able to clear this problem up later,’ he told ANSA.
ANSA said that traces of the drug might have resulted if Schettino’s hair had come in contact with someone who had handled cocaine.
The Concordia was carrying some 4,200 passengers and crew on a week’s cruise on its standard route when it crashed into the reef during dinner a couple of hours after leaving an Italian port.
Divers have been searching sections of the wreckage where some of the missing were last seen in hopes that more bodies can be recovered.
After much delay, in great part because of stormy weather, pumping operations have been under way for a week to remove some 500,000 gallons of fuel from the ship’s tanks.

Wouldn’t want to be this chap right now. I suspect an example is going to be made. A retest should put this particular twist to bed though. I imagine captains shake hundreds of hands during each cruise, then occasionally touch their hair.

Just about every banknote in the country has traces of cocaine on it.

I suspect that traces of ‘human being’ were present as well.

Not that strange – it’s said that cocaine is on a very high percentage of bank notes in any country and anyway you touch so many things in a day, then touch your hair, I can’t see how they could ever use this against him.

Botched ‘evidence’ surely not!

Cavorting – come on what was she a horse?

Have him submit to a hair analysis. This will give a detailed list of chemicals in his system for a specific period of time.

Looks like someone tried to set him up about the cocaine. Not defending his stupidity, arrogance, cowardice. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
