Cambodian flag was detained on Moneron Island off Sakhalin on suspicion of
poaching.

motorboat was detained on Sunday by a patrol ship. Coatsal guards found 900
kilograms of live blue crab onboard, no fishing permit was provided.
The captain of the vessel is a citizen of Russia who is suspected of
contraband, poaching of rare aquatic animals and plants and illegal crossing of
the Russian border.
The vessel was tugged to the port of Nevelsk for further investigation.
The Global Witness report accuses donors of turning a blind eye to potential
mismanagement of funds and urges them to use their influence—in hundreds of
millions of dollars of aid each year—to ensure the revenues go to the populace.
Millions of dollars are missing from national coffers in oil deals, the report
notes.
