UK Arrests Indian Captain Over Russia Sanctions Breach

Indian ship captain Ajay Pant is being held in the UK on charges of breaching British sanctions against Russia after Royal Marines intercepted his tanker, MT Smyrtos, in the English Channel in June. The vessel was allegedly part of Moscow's shadow fleet. Lawyers say it is the first known case of a European nation jailing a captain on such grounds.
