The Jeju Maritime Police has applied for an arrest warrant for the captain of the ship carrying the Venus fleet on charges of not rescuing the injured colleague.
Mr. A is accused of leaving the scene without reporting or rescue activities even after witnessing the sinking of the Venus.
In a police investigation, A reportedly stated that there was no circumstance and that he did not remember.
The Coast Guard is also continuing its investigation into the carrier entering Busan Port without rescue activities and falsifying the catch.
Five of the 27 crew members were killed and nine were missing in the sinking of the Venus ferry off Jeju Island on the 8th of last month, and the search is still underway.
