Suspected Russia 'shadow fleet' tanker bound for French port
French forces, with the help of allies, boarded the oil tanker called "Grinch" on Thursday between Spain and Morocco, after it started its journey from the Russian Arctic port of Murmansk.
The tanker is now expected to arrive on Saturday morning at the port of Marseille-Fos in southern France, according to the same source.
French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday announced that the French Navy, with the support of allies, had intercepted a vessel "subject to international sanctions" and suspected of flying a false flag.
