Captain of the capsized Costa Concordia Francesco Schettino looks at photographers as he attends a meeting in Rome July 10, 2014. The wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise liner is set to be refloated next week, to be towed away from the Italian island of Giglio where it ran aground and capsized two and a half years ago, the group organising the removal said last week. Schettino is on trial accused of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning ship. Thirty-two people died in the catastrophe. REUTERS/Remo Casilli (ITALY – Tags: DISASTER MARITIME CRIME LAW)
