Russia: pirate bosses should lie in prison
12/09/2010"The problem of piracy has been recently aggravated, especially off Somali coast. What concerns us most is unsatisfactory situation with bringing pirates to responsibility. The main thing is that pirate bosses escape liability", Kalinin said.
We recall that pirates currently hold over 400 hostages and 20 vessels. Three multinational naval coalitions fight piracy near Somalia. They are EU NAVFOR – Operation Atalanta, NATO Operation Ocean Shield, and US-led operation of joint naval forces.
