Prywatna firma ochroniarska zabiła pirata
"Fairplay"
Daily News 25 Mar 2010
Pirate suspects released
EU NAVFOR has told Fairplay that it has freed six pirate suspects detained after a deadly gunfight because there was no chance of conviction.
A pirate suspect was shot dead by guards during the attempted hijacking of Panama-flagged, 2,886dwt general cargo ship Almezaan off Somalia on 23 March. It was the first known slaying by such guards on a ship since the piracy crisis began.
Six others suspected of involvement in the attack were later detained by a team from EU NAVFOR’s Spanish warship Navarra. Spain began talks with Kenya and the Seychelles yesterday to negotiate a hand-over of the six pirate suspects for trial.
But EU NAVFOR spokesman Commander John Harbour told Fairplay today that the anti-piracy force had freed the suspects after 24 hours of intense investigation.
“We made the decision not to prosecute as the master refused to testify, and there was no case against the pirates,” he said.
The guard accused of shooting the suspect who died also refused to talk to authorities, Harbour added.
The six suspects who were freed had one of their skiffs returned and were provided with fuel to return to shore.
