A well-known defense lawyer, who helped Mike Lynch win acquittal, is missing along with his wife after Lynch’s yacht sank off the Italian coast.
Among those missing and feared dead in the aftermath of the sinking of “Bayesian”, a sailing yacht linked to British technology magnate Mike Lynch, are Lynch’s attorney Christopher Morvillo and Morvillo’s wife, according to a colleague.
Lynch was reportedly on a cruise with friends and coworkers, including Morvillo, to celebrate his acquittal after facing prosecution for financial fraud related to the sale of his company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard in 2011. Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter, as well as two others, are still missing.
