The German customs may not collect and exploit the damaged oil tanker "Eventin". This was decided by the Bundesfinanzhof. He has doubts about the legality of the measure. According to the court, it is not clear whether a violation of EU sanctions rules exists even if a ship is incapacitated and drifts into EU waters without a decision of its own will.
