Four people died when a storm sank a ship in northern Italy. It later emerged that 21 of the people on board had worked for Israeli or Italian intelligence services.
Official explanations that they had been celebrating a birthday did nothing to quell the speculative frenzy about their activities. The prosecutor investigating the incident said those questions fell outside the scope of their investigation, which is to determine what caused the ship to capsize and sink."If we find briefcases, we will confiscate them," Nocerino said dryly.
