A 52-year-old German man who was
allegedly steering the powerboat that hit a small boat on Lake
Garda last month, killing two young Italian people, has been
arrested, sources said Monday.
Umberto Garzarella, 37, from Saló, is thought to have been
killed instantly while Greta Nedrotti, 25, resident at Toscolano
Maderno, is thought to have been knocked into the water and
drowned.
Investigators are looking into the possibility that Nedrotti
could have been saved if the powerboat carrying Patrick Kassen
and a another German tourist had stopped to help.
Kassen was arrested at the Brenner Pass while returning to Italy
to turn himself in to the authorities.
He was taken to Brescia and is set to be taken to prison.
A Munich court had upheld a warrant for his arrest issued by
Brescia prosecutors.
