The incident, captured on a video and shared on social media, sparked anger across the country.
A Greek island ferry captain and three of his crew faced homicide charges on Wednesday over the death of a late passenger who was pushed by crew into the sea as he tried to force his way on to the departing vessel in the country’s main port of Piraeus.
When the man once again stepped on to the ramp, one crew member stopped him and pushed him off as the ferry was departing. In another video, a crew member was heard making an announcement to passengers saying the ferry’s departure was delayed “by an incident … for which the ship bears no responsibility”.
Mr Varvitsiotis also said he ordered an investigation into how port police responded to the incident.
