The captain of the russian vessel was informed of suspicion due to the theft of Ukrainian grain

The captain of the russian ship “Nadezhda” was informed about the suspicion. The man is involved in the transportation of stolen Ukrainian grain.

The Prosecutor’s Office of the Autonomous Region continues systematic work to identify all those involved in the organization of an illegal scheme for the transportation of Ukrainian grain looted by the russians through Crimea to third countries, the Prosecutor’s Office of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol writes in Telegram.

In 2022, the suspect made three visits to the closed MTP “Sevastopol”, where ships were loaded with looted Ukrainian grain.

Aware of the illegality of his actions, the captain periodically turned off the AIS and entered fictitious information about the ship’s course.

The russian faces up to 5 years in prison.

Also, the autonomous prosecutor’s office reported suspicions to the occupation minister of “agriculture of the Republic of Crimea”, the director of the Russian ship-owning company and 5 captains of russian ships. All of them were involved in the transportation of looted grain through the occupied Crimea.
