🇫🇷 France detained another tanker of Russia's shadow fleet in the Indian Ocean, – Le Monde
French military forces intercepted the oil tanker DF Peak flying the flag of Benin south of Réunion Island. A document check confirmed suspicions of illegal use of the flag, Le Monde reports.
At the prosecutor’s request, the vessel was sent to an anchorage off the coast of Réunion for further inspection.
Recall that France has previously detained tankers, in particular Boracay (September 2025), Grinch (January 2026), Deyna (March), Tagor (May), and Deliver (June). All five were ultimately released after paying fines.
