Nine suspects held in custody following Kyrenia shipwreck
A court in Kyrenia has extended the detention of nine suspects by seven additional days in connection with the Filo Jet shipwreck, which occurred on August 30. During the hearing, police reported that while investigations into the vessel's damages are ongoing, the search for a three-year-old child who remains missing continues.
Authorities confirmed that the examination of the vessel's Voyage Data Recorder, or 'black box', has been completed. Investigators analyzed data recorded between June 22 and August 26, identifying significant gaps in the logs during this period. A detailed report regarding these discrepancies is currently being prepared as part of the broader investigation into the incident.
Legal proceedings remain active, with police continuing to assign personnel to investigate the technical aspects of the ship. The suspects will remain in detention for at least another week as law enforcement compiles further evidence regarding the cause of the disaster and the identified logging failures.
