The 64-year-old Ukranian man identified Yuriy C has been released from custody after a Hungarian court has maintained its decision to let him leave on bail,... turning down the prosecution's appeal against the move.<br />The bail was set at 53-thousand U.S. dollars.<br />The captain was arrested earlier this month, on the suspicion of criminal misconduct,... as his ship slammed into the side of the tourist boat,... causing it to sink.<br />The court ordered him to undergo police questioning twice a week and to wear an electronic tracking device so he cannot leave Budapest.<br />The captain's legal team has said he is devastated by the incident, but still denies any wrongdoing.<br />Meawhile, authorities are desperately searching for three remaining missing passengers. Rescuers found an additional victim on Wednesday evening local time,... and we hear the body has now been identified.<br />Yes, Seoul's foreign ministry says that victim in question was a South Korean man in his sixties who was a tourist on the boat.<br />At around 6PM local time on Wednesday, his remains were discovered 110 kilometers downstream from the accident near the town of Bolcske .<br />This brings the official death toll to 25,... of that number 23 have been confirmed as South Korean tourists and the other two as Hungarian crew members.<br />Only seven people survived the fatal crash. Three passengers remain missing and are presumed to be dead. <br />Of course, the search is still ongoing. <br />South Korean authorities began searching inside the tourist boat on Thursday morning local time,... however, they haven't been able to find any of the missing passengers inside the wreckage.<br />An earlier search inside the vessel conducted by Hungarian police on Wednesday had also failed to discover any additional bodies.<br />In the meantime, the two sides are continuing their search along the Danube.<br />Back to you, Daniel. <br />
