A senior Morgan Stanley executive and a Clifford Chance partner are missing at sea alongside tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch after his yacht sank off Sicily.

Lynch was cleared in June of US fraud charges that related to the sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett Packard in 2011 for $11.7bn.
