The incident, captured on a video and shared on social media, sparked anger across the country.
A Greek prosecutor brought criminal charges on Wednesday against an island ferry captain and three of his crew, over the death of a passenger who was pushed into the sea by a crew member as he tried to board the departing vessel in Greece’s main port of Piraeus.
The incident on Tuesday, captured on video and shared on social media, sparked anger across the country. When the man once again stepped on to the ramp, one crew member stopped him and pushed him off as the ferry was departing. In another video, a crew member was heard making an announcement to passengers saying the ferry’s departure was delayed “by an incident … for which the ship bears no responsibility”.
Mr Varvitsiotis also said he ordered an investigation into how port police responded to the incident.
