Does Italy have the death penalty? Seems like this might be the kind of case you'd need it for. Otherwise, what incentive do future human traffickers have not to leave passengers on a ship on autopilot?

no they don't
what incentive? the entire point is not to get caught. "what happens when i get caught" isn't part of the equation.
Leo McGarry: And do you think ratcheting up the body count is going to act as a deterrent?
President Josiah Bartlet: You're damn right I do.
Leo McGarry:Oh, well then you're just as stupid as these guys who think that capital punishment is going to be a deterrent for drug kingpins. As if drug kingpins didn't live their day-to-day lives under the possibility of execution. And their executions are a lot less dainty than ours, and tend to take place without the bother and expense of due process.

No, they don't, and the question is moot anyways, since they, well, bailed.
As for what incentive they have, well, they lose the ship, which from their point of view is likely the best incentive. Ships cost money.
All in all, let's just be glad that this ended reasonably well.

I would've thought there was a middle ground between "do this free of charge" and "leave the ship on autopilot and ditch the passengers" though. Or is there something about that business that eliminates that middle ground?

Isn't human trafficking already something you could in theory go to prison for if caught? That seems like a much worse thought than losing an expensive ship. I presume there would be some way to find out who did this?
