PARIS (Reuters) -The French Navy on Tuesday said authorities were investigating a suspected infraction by the Benin-flagged oil tanker Boracay, a vessel which is listed under European Union and British sanctions against Russia.
“Following a suspected offence by the vessel Boracay, a report was made to the relevant public prosecutor’s office in Brest. An investigation is underway,” the Navy said in a statement to Reuters.
The crude oil tanker is currently at anchor off western France’s Atlantic coast, close to Saint Nazaire.
