Russian Court Sentences Six for Piracy in Arctic Sea Hijacking By Ilya Arkhipov - Mar 24, 2011 5:58 PM GMT+0100 A Russian court sentenced six pirates to a total of 66 years in prison for the hijacking of the Maltese-flagged freighter Arctic Sea in 2009. Alexei Andryushin, Dmitry Bartenev, and Alexei Buleev were sentenced to 10 years, while Vitaly Slepin, and Evgeny Mironov, received seven years. All had pleaded guilty. Igor Borisov, who didn't plead guilty, was sentenced to 12 years, said Arkhangelsk regional court spokeswoman Kseniya Solovyeva. "This was an unprecedented case in the history of the Russian investigation and judicial system as there has never been a case of piracy on sea," Solovyeva said. The disappearance of the 98-meter (320-foot) cargo ship created an international mystery after the armed pirates boarded the vessel near Sweden <http://topics.bloomberg.com/sweden/> pretending to be police officers. They sailed on through the North Sea and the English Channel <http://topics.bloomberg.com/english-channel/> to the Atlantic. Russian forces found the Arctic Sea among the Cape Verde islands off the west coast of Africa <http://topics.bloomberg.com/africa/> . Two other pirates involved in the case had already been sentenced to prison terms.
