Caffa was boarded by Swedish authorities off Trelleborg on March 6. According to the Coast Guard, the bulk carrier is listed on Ukraine's sanctions list, "where information indicates that it is transporting grain stolen from Ukraine."
The Ystad District Court ruled in June that the ship may be handed over to Ukraine, and the Court of Appeal later ruled the same. The case has now been refused leave to appeal by the Supreme Court, which has reviewed the material but found no reason to grant leave to appeal.
According to TV4, this is the first time a court outside Ukraine has ruled that a Russian ship linked to stolen Ukrainian grain should be handed over.
