Further to our earlier post, the Swedish courts have ordered the formal seizure of the cargo ship the Caffa. It is alleged that this vessel was used to carry grain from territory formerly controlled by Ukraine and now occupied by Russian forces.

Reuters has also reported that the Court has ruled that title to the vessel may now be transferred to Ukraine on the basis that the alleged behaviour of shipping grain from Ukraine may constitute a war crime under Swedish law.
