Swedish Coast Guard Detains Captain of Russian Shadow Fleet Ship

The Swedish Coast Guard has detained the captain of a Russian ship suspected of being part of Moscow's shadow fleet. The vessel, identified as Sea Owl One, was intercepted in Swedish waters and is believed to be involved in evading Western sanctions on Russia's oil exports. The captain, a 55-year-old Russian national, faces charges related to the use of forged documents. The ship, which was sailing under a Comoran flag, is now under Swedish custody and is expected to be further investigated for its alleged involvement in sanctions evasion.
