Yuri Chaplinsky -- now 68 and at the helm of the larger Sigyn vessel -- was found guilty of endangering water transport leading to a deadly mass accident, the Budapest court judge said.Before the verdict, the captain voiced his"immense regret" for the 2019 disaster.
He then allegedly neglected his duty to provide help to those who fell in the water or were trapped on board the sunken boat, prosecutors said.
