HELSINKI, Aug 11, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Three crew members of a ship believed to belong to Russia's shadow fleet have been charged with sabotage for cutting five Baltic Sea cables in December 2024, Finland's prosecution authority said on Monday.

The captain and first and second officers of the Cook Islands-registered tanker Eagle S -- which is accused of having dragged its anchor on the seabed along dozens of kilometres (miles) -- have been charged with "aggravated criminal mischief and aggravated interference with communications," the office of Finland's Deputy Prosecutor General said in a statement.
