A New York federal judge issued a judgment of forfeiture authorizing the United States to take ownership of the M/T Courageous, which is currently in Cambodia.
"Kwek and his co-conspirators engaged in an extensive scheme to evade ... US and UN sanctions by using vessels under their control to covertly transport fuel to North Korea," the statement said. The Department has accused Kwek of trying to hide the scheme by using shell companies, lying to international shipping authorities and falsely identifying the Courageous to avoid detection.
Cambodian authorities seized the tanker in March 2020 on a US warrant and have held the Courageous there since.
