After the boat accident off the coast of Palermo, the search for six missing people continues. They include British technology entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah. His wife has already been rescued.

Mike Lynch was acquitted in June of fraud charges relating to the sale of his software company Autonomy. Among other things, he had been accused of misrepresenting the turnover of his company. The "Sunday Times" estimates the former government advisor's assets at around 587 million euros.

In addition to Lynch, the president of the trading company Morgan Stanley International, Jonathan Bloomer, the CEO of Lynch's company Chris Morvillo and his wife Nada are also missing.
