Lake Maggiore boat accident: Questions remain over spy deaths

A boat sank on Lake Maggiore on May 28, resulting in the tragic deaths of four individuals, including a former Mossad agent, two Italian intelligence officers, and a Russian woman.

The incident has sparked speculation due to the presence of technology companies in Lombardy and the transit nature of Switzerland for intelligence members. While some reports suggest it was a recreational outing, Italian news outlets indicate a secret work meeting between Italian and Israeli agents. The boat was caught in a sudden storm, causing it to capsize.

The captain and his wife, who were not involved in intelligence work, survived. The investigation will examine compliance with safety measures, maintenance, certification, and insurance of the vessel, as well as the overcrowding issue and sailing in adverse weather conditions.

The incident remains under investigation, and many details are still uncertain, leaving room for speculation.
