Thursday, 17 February 2005The 8-member crew of Azerbaijan's "Compass" vessel, which was recently arrested by the Russian law-enforcement agency for illegal fishing in the northern part of the Caspian Sea, may face 2-year imprisonment.
The investigation into the case has not been completed yet due to delays in sending appropriate documents on the vessel from Azerbaijan.
Four members of the crew are currently being imprisoned in Mahachkala and are charged under Article 256.3 of the Criminal Code of Russia. Four other members of the crew are not allowed to leave the vessel, which is under arrest in the port of Mahachkala. |
