A Stockholm district court has ordered the immediate detention and transfer to prison for a former commander from Russia's "shadow fleet" who was recently arrested in Baltic waters. The individual, identified as an officer linked to Sea Owl I (a vessel flagged under false colors), is now being held pending trial on charges of violating international sanctions by operating without proper authorization while serving his sentence abroad.
