Arctic Sea

I juli 2009 blev lastfartyget Arctic Sea kapat på svenskt territorialvatten i Östersjön. Brottsfallet -- som hämtat ur en deckare - väckte naturligt nog stor internationell uppmärksamhet. Serien av händelser slutade först en knapp månad senare i närheten av den Västafrikanska kusten, där de ryska myndigheterna bordade fartyget och grep kaparna. Fallet var speciellt också beträffande det omfattande internationella myndighetssamarbetet. För utredningen av kapningen av fartyget och det försök till grov utpressning som var förknippat med den, bildades en gemensam internationell utredningsgrupp.
