A lawyer working with the builder of the Bayesian superyacht that carried Mike Lynch and six other passengers to their deaths has filed a €222 million (£186 million) lawsuit against Lynch’s widow and crewmembers of the ship, citing reputational damage.

Tommaso Bertuccelli, a lawyer who works with The Italian Sea Group (TISG), filed a lawsuit in Palermo on Friday declaring liability for the sinking of the yacht lay with Lynch’s widow and the boat’s crew, Italian publication La Nazione first reported. TISG itself, however, has said it did not authorize the suit and promptly instructed lawyers to remove the case on Saturday afternoon.
