**Crew of Russian ‘Ghost Fleet’ Tanker Detained off Saint-Nazaire**

*Several members of the crew of the Pushpa, a vessel linked to Russia’s so-called “ghost fleet”, have been taken into custody, sources told Franceinfo on Wednesday evening, 1 October. They are being questioned by investigators from the maritime gendarmerie’s research division, which was assigned the case by the Brest public prosecutor.*

*Earlier that same day, a military source confirmed to France Télévisions that the ship had been “boarded” and that a “boarding team” had gone on deck. The vessel is suspected, among other things, of having been involved in a drone overflight in Denmark.*

*Since Sunday, 28 September, when it was first spotted, the 244-metre tanker has been idling in the Atlantic Ocean, just beyond 12 nautical miles from the French coast — the very edge of French territorial waters. Its unexplained presence has raised concerns, prompting the Brest prosecutor’s office to open an inquiry on Monday for “lack of documentation” and “failure to comply with the authorities’ instructions.”*

i wonder why it started idling like that. Keep moving and nobody bats an eye
