Of the 30 victims now identified, 12 are German, six French, six Italian, two
Peruvian, two American, one Hungarian and one from Spain.
The Costa Concordia, which had 4,229 people on board, ran aground and keeled
over, prompting a panicked evacuation after a long wait.
Nine people are under investigation for manslaughter, including captain
Francesco Schettino, who is also accused of abandoning ship before everyone
on board could be evacuated.
Three of those being investigated are executives from the ship’s company,
Costa Crociere, Europe’s biggest cruise operator.
