"US Coast Guard tactical teams worked closely with its counterparts at the Departments of War, Department of Justice and State and used their specialized expertise to conduct these operations and conduct two safe, effective boardings within hours of each other. One of these tankers, Motor Tanker Bella I, has been trying to evade the Coast Guard for weeks, even changing its flag and painting a new name on the hull while being pursued, in a desperate and failed attempt to escape justice."
"The Coast Guard conducted back-to-back meticulously coordinated boarding of two "ghost fleet" tanker ships- one in the North Atlantic Sea and one in international waters near the Caribbean. Both vessels -the Motor Tanker Bella I and the Motor Taker Sophia-were either last docked in Venezuela or en route to it."
Unclassified footage shows US Coast Guard tactical teams seizing a second tanker near the Caribbean as part of pre-dawn operations targeting a Venezuela-linked "ghost fleet" alleged to fund narco-terrorism. Two tankers, Motor Tanker Bella I and Motor Taker Sophia, were boarded; both were either last docked in Venezuela or en route there. USCG units worked with Departments of War, Justice and State to conduct two safe, coordinated boardings within hours. Bella I attempted to evade capture by changing flag and hull name while being pursued. Russia condemned the seizure as a maritime law violation.
