November 29, 2019. Detected by the Rov, or a remote-controlled submarine of the Coast Guard, the wreck of the ship full of migrants crashed last Saturday at a mile from the island of the Rabbits of Lampedusa.

The presence of corpses has been detected inside the wreck. At the moment it was not possible, due to the bad weather conditions and visibility at the bottom of the sea, to determine how many remains there are. The boat is on the seabed at a depth of about 40 meters.

Last Saturday the Coast Guard patrol boats had rescued 149 migrants, but another 20 had been reported missing. The bodies of 5 women were later recovered at sea.
