Rome: The death toll from the accident Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia grew to 16 people after the body of a woman found inside the ship on Tuesday (24 / 1) local time.

So far, as many as 23 people still missing, but the number could increase because there are no passengers on the ship were registered. On Tuesday, a team of technicians from the Dutch company Smit, who was assigned to pump 2,400 tons of fuel on board, began to inspect the ship to prepare for surgery.

"Specialist team of about 50 workers would begin pumping fuel at the end of penakn this Saturday," said Head of the Protection of Civilians Franco Gabrielli, told reporters on Wednesday (25 / 1).

Not only that, new details also emerged in the investigation which was opened by local prosecutors. These details include recorded conversation between the captain Francesco Schettino and his friend who advised the company operating the ship, Costa Cruises, for joint responsibility in the tragedy.

In that conversation, Schettino decided deliberately to get too close to shore in order to "obey orders Costa Cruises manager" who asked him to give "due respect" to the officials on the island of Giglio. Now, Schettino (52) under house arrest since last week on charges of murder and leaving the ship, although he has denied any wrongdoing
