Update on Missing Crewmember Angelo Faliva - a Story of "Pain & Incompetency"
An Italian blogger Stefano Nazzi provides updated information regarding the "disappearance" of Italian crew member Angelo Faliva from the Coral Princess cruise ship operated by Princess Cruises.
In his article entitled "Chi Indaga Sulla Scomparsa di Angelo Faliva?" Mr. Nazzi questions whether anyone is actually investigating Mr. Faliva's disappearance. He characterizes the situation as .jpg)
an "ugly story" - one "of pain" suffered by the Faliva family and "incompetence and laxity" by the police in Bermuda.
In theory, the country of Bermuda is suppose to be investigating the case, because Princess Cruises flags its cruise ships in that country to avoid U.S. taxes and U.S. labor and wage laws.
The fact that Bermuda has no genuine interest in investigating crimes and mysterious incidents on Princess cruise ships is becoming increasingly apparent. Princess Cruises operates its fleet of cruise ships out of its corporate headquarters in Santa Clarita, California. The police in Bermuda are literally and figuratively in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, apparently doing little to provide answers for the Faliva family.
The Italian blog suggests that the police in Bermuda have still not inspected Mr. Faliva's three cellular telephones or his computer and camera. Nor have they examined the records of the cruise ship's surveillance cameras. When Mr. Faliva's younger sister, Chiara, inquired into the delay, the police in Bermuda complained that they were busy with other matters. They wrote that they felt harassed by Ms. Faliva and preferred to be left alone!
The blog also contains a comment by Chiara Faliva that her family believes that the Princess cruise ship knows more about her brother's death than it will admit. And the authorities in Bermuda are providing no answers as the family's search for information approaches three months.
She writes that "frankly I believe that persons on board the ship know what happened at my brother. Besides the sadness, pain, and anger, I experience also disgust, amazement and incredulity . . ." by the attitude of the "investigating" authorities.
Angelo Faliva (below, in the galley of the Coral Princess) was a happy and well liked chef who enjoyed working on the cruise ship. How can there be no explanation provided by Princess Cruises?

Mr. Faliva apparently spoke with some passengers in the Sabatini restaurant on the cruise ship, and then left his station around 8:15 p.m. Yet, the cruise line delayed over 12 hours reporting him missing. This delayed the search conducted by the Colombian Navy until the afternoon of the following day. .jpg)
