Costa Concordia captain Schettino is a coward of a scumbag - check out this transcript
Italian rescuers have found five more bodies inside the cruise ship that ran aground after hitting rocks on Friday, raising the confirmed death toll to 11.
Francesco Schettino, is to be held under house arrest, his lawyer says. He faces possible manslaughter charges.
A recording of a call between and a port official shortly after the crash appears to suggest he left the ship before the passengers.
In the recording, released by the Corriere della Sera newspaper, a man who identifies himself as Livorno Port Authority chief Gregorio de Falco can be heard repeatedly telling the captain to get back on board the ship to help the stranded passengers.
"Schettino, maybe you saved yourself from the sea, but I'll make you have trouble for sure. Go aboard," says Mr De Falco.
The captain appears to refuse, replying first that there are rescuers already on board, and then that it is dark and difficult to see.
Mr De Falco replies: "Do you want to go home, Schettino? It's dark, so you want to go home?"
