«I had no perception of the impact. Neither me, nor the other six people who were on board. Nobody felt anything. One of the guests saw a person waving at the stern. We couldn’t do more than provide aid and raise the alarm.”
He has a rehearsed voice Judus Furgiuel when he remembers the Sunday afternoon. The criminal lawyer, son of the lawyer professor Alfonso Fugiuele, is being investigated by the Naples Prosecutor’s Office as part of the investigation into the death of the researcher Cristina Frazzica, 30, who died last Sunday afternoon after being hit by a boat while she was trip on a kayak together with a lawyer friend of his in the waters of Posillipo, in Naples.
Was the person calling for help in the water?
«Yes, it was in the sea, about five hundred meters from the shore. Just enough time to stop the boat and we went back to help him. We pulled up the young man and the canoe. When he got on the boat he told us that there was another girl with him who had been hit by a very fast motorboat. My boat is not a very fast motorboat, so we didn’t think that the accident could have been caused by us.”
What did he do at that point?
«I raised the alarm. I myself contacted the Harbor Master’s Office saying that there had been an accident and that there was a girl missing at sea. I waited for them to arrive and together with them I took them to the Luise pier, where I also took the people who were with me ashore.”
In perfect good faith.
“Yes. Although there seems to be a video that portrays my boat in that area and in that period of time.”
How is his mood?
«I’m shocked. I was at the helm of the boat. If the girl ended up under my boat, I will take all responsibility, as I have already declared to the public prosecutor.”
