Gibraltar's Chief Minister Fabian Picardo has pledged that Gibraltar's Supreme Court will weigh any US attempt to stop the Iranian tanker Grace 1's departure after its release, APA reports quoting Sputnik.
“She is able to leave as soon as she organises the logistics necessary in order to sail a ship of that size wherever it's going next. Could be today, could be tomorrow”, Picardo told BBC.
The statement comes after authorities of Gibraltar ruled on Thursday to release the tanker, which was captured on 4 July on suspicion of transporting oil to Syria in alleged violation of EU sanctions.
Earlier, the Gibraltar government said in a statement that the US Department of Justice had applied to seize the Iranian tanker Grace 1 on a spate of allegations which are “now being considered”.
