Finland charges Russian captain and crew member of ship suspected of damaging undersea cables — prosecutors claim ship had eight more targets before it was stopped by coast guard
Finland has charged the captain and a crew member of the cargo ship Fitburg with aggravated criminal mischief and interference with telecommunications for allegedly damaging undersea cables. Prosecutors claim the ship dragged its anchor for over 80 miles, cutting cables operated by Elisa and Arelion, and had intended to target eight more. This follows a previous, unsuccessful prosecution attempt for a similar incident involving another Russian-linked vessel, where jurisdiction was an issue. AI
