ICYMI, a Mexican mega yacht, owned by one of the richest families in Mexico, stopped to rescue 100 migrants from a capsized fishing vessel in the Mediterranean. I'm sure we'll soon hear that this was a tragic accident, and the yacht's crew will be punished (if not prosecuted) for this willful act of human decency.

To which port did they go? The hypothetical will change depending on the port. Try to list all the countries bordering the Mediterranean and please expand on your hypothetical for each country on what their legal system would do prosecuting this crew. Also does the Mexican billionaire owned yacht have a heliport to whisk away the owners before docking so they would escape legal scrutiny as you write in your hypothetical?
