The pair join Owen Jones, the boat’s owner, who had already been identified by Italian media following last week’s dramatic incident. When contacted through his lawyer, Gauci denied any involvement in the case. Attempts to reach Cassar’s lawyer were unsuccessful, and it remains unclear whether Italian authorities are still seeking him in connection with the investigation. Italian authorities continue to investigate the incident, with suspicions reportedly including money laundering, drug trafficking and smuggling. No criminal charges related to the Sicily incident have yet been reported against those involved.
