M/V Faina - update Dec. 13

I don't know what's going on with the M/V Faina.

It was suppose to be released.

Then there was supposedly an attack by the crew.

However, now there are reports that was a lie.



"In reality, the following happened: Yesterday evening, two pirates who headed for the shore on a boat were seized and detained by the Americans. The pirates called intermediaries and the ship owner and asked them to speak to the Americans to ask for the release of their seized accomplices, but were told it is impossible," Mikhail Voitenko from Sovfracht Maritime Bulletin said.

"So the pirates launched the canard about a mutiny. Something like a threat," Voitenko told Ukraine's Unian news agency, citing the Faina's owner.


I don't know if this is the truth either. Do you think the Americans just let the pirates go?
