According to AFP, the reports said that police secretly recorded a phone call in which Francesco Schettino told a friend he was following the advice of a manager about what route to take. The manager allegedly told him "pass through here, pass through there."
"In my place, another would not have been so ready to pass there, but they got to me with their 'pass through there, pass through there,'" Schettino said.
"The rocks were there, but the instruments I had weren't showing them, so I went through," he said.
