The searches for the 60-year-old disappeared at sea, Anna Claudia Cartoni, after a clash between boats on the Argentario, continued all night but without success.

She announced the Coast Guard.

The search operations will also continue with surface vehicles and helicopters.

Shipwreck, manslaughter and injuries

.

These would be the crimes against which the investigations into the collision between boats in the canal between Monte Argentario (Grosseto) and the Island of Giglio, which cost a man the life, are still underway, while the search for a missing woman is still underway.

According to the hypotheses, the yacht with 4 Danes on board, perhaps sailing with the autopilot on, would have ended up at high speed against the sailboat on which there were six people originally from Rome. 

There would be a first suspect for the collision between the two boats.

The driver of the large motorboat, with some Danes on board, ended up in the register of suspects, which ended up at high speed against a sailing boat, the "Vahinè", on which six people were traveling, from Rome.

This is Per Horup, a 58-year-old who was traveling with three other people on board (Mikkel Horup, Tine Lehmann and Anna Maria Sorensen Durr).

The boats are impounded.

The prosecutor will arrange a consultation to establish the speed and trajectory of the vehicle.

Among the hypotheses underlying the collision is that the boat proceeded on autopilot.

At the moment the file opened by the prosecutor would hypothesize the crimes of shipwreck and manslaughter.

A RESEARCH ROBOT

- An underwater robot will also be used for the woman's research.

The Rov automated system, which is capable of descending to a depth of 150 meters, was requested by the Coast Guard to the firefighters and could already be operational in the next few hours.
