Good.

Of course Russia has another pathetic response. Complaining about privacy when they are sailing under a false flag and breaking maritime law

russians only use words to deprive them of their meaning and spread confusion. Anything they say should be treated as a cognitohazard, ignored and shut down

Great,

What happens to the oil aftermath ?

I believe that in the previous case, the criminal justice was pretty mild with the involved persons, like the captain got a fine and suspended sentence for missing some paperwork and that's it ?

Could the captain be anything else but a pawn in this multi million dollar game?

Indeed, they're definitely a pawn. A rich pawn compared to the sailor, but they have a family to feed, bills to pay, and I'm sure many can't afford to refuse a job.

And French jails are already over populated, so even violent criminal get house-arrest. A foreign ship captain, who won't kill anyone won't do much more damaged once banned from entering the country
