Caribbean crackdown nets seventh Venezuelan-linked tanker
U.S. forces seized the Motor Vessel Sagitta, a Panamanian-flagged, Venezuelan-linked tanker owned by Sunne Co Limited, marking the seventh such seizure since December 2025 as Washington tightens sanctions on Venezuelan oil shipments in the Caribbean; the ship was described as part of a shadow fleet moving oil from sanctioned nations, underscoring ongoing enforcement while related actions—such as the Maduro case in New York and a recent roughly $500 million Venezuelan oil sale—continue.
