An oil tanker from Russia, subject to international sanctions and suspected of flying a false flag, was boarded and searched on the high seas in the Mediterranean. The operation involved the French navy with support from several allied nations and resulted in the vessel being diverted. The tanker, identified as Grinch, was seized between Spain and Morocco. Examination of the ship's documents after boarding raised doubts about the regularity of the flag. The vessel is being escorted by the national navy to an anchorage point for further verification. Shadow-fleet activities are cited as helping finance Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
