Captain of Russian \u00abshadow fleet\u00bb tanker Grinch detained in France<\/h2>\n

Prosecutor's Office of the French city Marseille<\/strong> took into custody captain of the Russian \u00abshadow fleet\u00bb tanker Grinch<\/strong>, which France intercepted on Thursday, 22 January<\/strong>. This is reported by the \u00abUkrainian Pravda<\/em>\u00bb<\/strong> with reference to French sources.<\/p>\n

What is known about the detention<\/h3>\n

According to the prosecutor's office, the Grinch tanker itself was handed over to the Marseille prosecutor<\/strong>. The captain and crew are expected to procedural interrogations<\/strong>, During the inspection, the circumstances of the voyage, cargo and legal status of the vessel will be clarified.<\/p>\n

\u00abRussia's \u00bbshadow fleet\"<\/h3>\n

The Grinch tanker has been linked to the so-called \u00abRussia's \u00bbshadow fleet\"<\/strong> - a network of vessels used to circumvent international sanctions, among other things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    transportation of Russian oil;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    concealment of the origin of goods;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    manipulation of flags and insurance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Such vessels are increasingly subject to inspections and detentions in EU waters.<\/p>\n

    Context.<\/h3>\n

    France and other EU countries strengthen control over maritime transport<\/strong>, related to Russian oil, amid sanctions against Moscow over the war against Ukraine. The interception of the \u00abshadow fleet\u00bb tankers is seen as an element of economic pressure on russia<\/strong> and fighting against circumvention of restrictions.<\/p>\n

    The further fate of the Grinch and its crew will depend on the outcome of the investigation and legal assessment by the French authorities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
