The audio tapes will reinforce prosecutors’ accusations that the captain,
Francesco Schettino, and his officers failed to alert authorities and
procrastinated over giving the order to abandon ship.
Capt Schettino was formally suspended as an employee of Costa Cruises, with
the company disassociating itself from his conduct and saying it would
register as an injured party in a trial of the skipper.
Eleven people are confirmed dead, while more than 20 people, including a
five-year-old Italian girl, are missing.
Susy Albertini begged rescuers to keep up the search for her daughter Dayana,
the youngest person missing from the disaster. Dayana was with her father,
William Arlotti, 36, who is also missing.
