A Swedish court has ordered the detention of the Russian captain of a ship which was suspected to be sailing under a false flag in the Baltic Sea and was boarded by authorities last week. The commander of the Sea Owl 1, whose name hasn’t been released, was arrested on Friday — the day after the Swedish coast guard boarded the vessel off Trelleborg, on Sweden’s southern coast. Prosecutors suspect him of using a false document. They said Sunday that the district court in Ystad ordered him held in custody in line with their request.
