Greek ferry captain, 3 seamen charged over death of tardy passenger pushed into sea by crew member

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A Greek prosecutor has brought criminal charges against an island ferry captain and three of his crew over the death of a tardy passenger who was pushed by a crew member into the sea as he tried to board the departing vessel. The incident in the country’s main port of Piraeus captured on video and shared on social media has caused anger across the maritime country. It shows a crew member shoving the 36-year-old man off the loading ramp late Tuesday into waters violently churned by the ship’s screws. Greece’s prime minister deplored the “shameful” incident Wednesday.
