Finland’s national prosecutor’s office said on Aug. 11 that it had brought charges against the captain and first and second officers of the Cook Islands-registered Eagle S oil tanker over the cutting of undersea cables in the Gulf of Finland in December 2024.

Finnish authorities boarded the Russian-linked crude oil tanker on Dec. 26, 2024, to investigate the suspected sabotage of the Estlink-2 undersea power cable.
