    There was a similar case about a year ago. A vessel called Eagle S damaged an undersea power cable called Estlink 2 between Finland and Estonia. The ship was seized by Finland’s coast guard, and the crew was charged for a number of crimes. The final verdict was that Finnish court had no jurisdiction to handle the case. The alleged crimes happened on international waters, and the crew should have been charged in the country of who or what ever owns the vessel and/or within the countries of the crew.
