MOSCOW (AFP): Moscow said Wednesday two Russian crew members of a tanker seized this month by the United States in the Atlantic had been released and were on their way home. The United States said publicly that the Marinera’s crew could be prosecuted. Russia announced earlier this month that the United States had decided to release the two Russian crew members, but last week its Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the decision had not yet been implemented. “At the request of the US authorities, crew members have been allowed to disembark for onwards travel,” a UK government spokesperson told AFP Wednesday. “They will be processed in line with all appropriate immigration and legal requirements.”Britain was not involved in the movement of the other two crew members, the government said.
