    According to fresh news, they “only” found a bonus load of communications interception / spy equipment on board, so they were lucky to move fast - some of it might have been discarded if they had waited longer.

    However, they also saw and registered the ship dragging its anchor, and caught it without one anchor (which will be no doubt found at the EstLink cable site or soon after it). One just follows the trench an anchor makes in seabed until it ends.

    On the basis of what I’ve read so far, they seem to have a very solid case.

      Yeah, I saw that! Definitely good news. In our modern world, connectivity is necessary, and unilaterally harming people should be investigated and punished.
