Post by : Bianca Qureshi

Paris – The French Navy has seized the Russian-flagged oil tanker ‘Grinch’ in the Mediterranean, authorities confirmed on Monday. The vessel is believed to be part of Russia’s secretive “Shadow Fleet”, a network of ships reportedly used to circumvent international sanctions and export oil illegally.

The operation was carried out following intelligence provided by the United Kingdom, highlighting growing international cooperation in monitoring and enforcing sanctions. French officials described the seizure as a significant move in upholding international law and preventing illegal maritime activities.

Experts say this development underscores rising geopolitical tensions and reflects increasing global efforts to protect maritime security and enforce sanctions against sanctioned nations.

The investigation into the tanker and its cargo is ongoing, and further details are expected as authorities assess the situation.
