U.K. tech magnate Mike Lynch and six others were killed after the British-flagged luxury superyacht sank during a violent storm last year.

A superyacht has been raised from the seabed nearly a year after it sank off the coast of Sicily, killing seven of the 22 people on board. Italian officials said the luxury yacht - known as the Bayesian - would be held up by a crane for a series of inspections requested by the public prosecutor's office.

The British superyacht that sank off Sicily last August killing seven will be lifted from the seabed this coming weekend, following the successful removal of the 72-meter mast.
