You skipped the most important line:
source: RIPE-NONAUTH
In other words, this object dates back to the times when anybody
could throw almost anything into RIPE's IRRdb. In other words,
it's not authoritative and its presence doesn't mean anything.
It's probably legit, the data is old but somewhat consistent. Comodo
should probably try to clean up the RIR administration surrounding
this ASN, though.
