Was the captain of the Oceanus cruise ship prosecuted for abandoning passengers when it sank?

Question

The captain and crew abandoned the passengers when the ship started sinking.

Answer 1

I don't know for sure; when I worked on a cruise ship we were always told about this story in safety meetings. One safety officer told us that the Greek captain was quietly dismissed from the cruise line, but years later ended up working on another ship. I didn't think anyone in their right mind would let him captain another ship, but who knows.
