Tanker Boracay from Russia's "shadow fleet", detained by France, continued on its way

The tanker was detained on September 30 while passing through the English Channel, having previously been spotted off the coast of Denmark under a declared drone threat.

At the same time, the day before, French police arrested the captain and first mate of the tanker. According to the Brest prosecutor, the captain and first mate of Boracay were accused of disobeying the orders of the French Navy ship, and also of failing to provide evidence of the ship's nationality.

As the Associated Press wrote , citing the French prosecutor's office, the ship's captain is due to appear in court in February next year. AFP, citing sources, claims that the Boracay captain has returned to the tanker.
