Sanctions Mix-up: Greece to Release Russian Tanker
A Russian tanker impounded by Greece this week and reportedly carrying Iranian oil will be released amid confusion about sanctions on its owners.
"The coast guard has been ordered by the anti-money laundering authority to release the vessel," a Greek government official said, without providing further details.
On Tuesday, Greek authorities impounded the 115,500-deadweight tonnage Russian-flagged Pegas, with 19 Russian crew members on board, on the southern coast of the island of Evia.
They said the ship was impounded as part of EU sanctions on Russia for the invasion of Ukraine.
