By Owen Evans Contributing Writer Finland’s national prosecutor’s office said on Monday it had brought charges against the captain and first and second officers of the Cook Islands-registered Eagle S oil

The National Prosecution Authority in Helsinki indicted the captain and two first officers of the Eagle S, a Cook Islands-registered tanker believed to be part of a "shadow fleet" transporting Russian oil in violation of international sanctions.

Finnish authorities say they have charged the captain and two senior officers of a Russia-linked vessel that damaged undersea cables last year between Finland and Estonia.
