Spain has been left out of the international summit convened by the British government to address the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. At the moment, it remains unclear whether the government didn’t receive an invitation or decided to decline it.
The meeting yesterday bought together representatives from 35 countries to discuss restoring freedom of navigation in a critical maritime shipping lane. According to sources, the meeting was held virtually.. UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper coordinated it, as part of joint efforts led by the UK and France to reopen the passage blocked by Iran.
The summit’s composition largely reflects the countries that signed the joint statement issued on 19 March by an international coalition condemning Iran’s attacks on unarmed commercial vessels and energy infrastructure in the Gulf.
Among the countries that endorsed that declaration were the UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Japa and Canada, in addition to a long list of European, Asian and Middle Eastern partners that joined later. Spain, however, is not among the signatories.
A fuel fraud investigation across Almería, Alicante, and Murcia has uncovered a criminal network accused of stealing company identities, securing diesel fuel and equipment without paying, and then reselling it below market price for profit. The Guardia Civil says 15 people have been arrested so far and 18,000 litres of diesel have been recovered in an operation linked to losses of some €200,000.
The case points to a form of fraud that hits legitimate businesses twice. First air jordan 1 high skyline, their corporate details are allegedly stolen. Then the debt generated in their name can land back on them while the criminal network moves on with the fuel and the profit. According to the Guardia Civil, the group used information taken from real air jordan 4 retro red thunder companies in several provinces.
Investigators say the organisation operated between July and November last year.
A clandestine workshop in Tenerife producing counterfeit clothing has been uncovered in a Guardia Civil operation that investigators say has exposed a significant production and distribution point for fake goods in the Canary Islands.
Officers say they seized 70,000 counterfeit items valued at almost €7 million and investigated 19 people for alleged offences against industrial property.
The operation also involved inspections at 20 shops in Tenerife and La Palma. Police say the network was linked to the sale and distribution of products imitating registered brands.
The scale of the seizure, the specialist equipment and the spread across more than one island point to a business model rather than a casual sideline.
An expert in trademarks and industrial property certified that the seized products were fake. Among the goods were clothing, handbags, wallets and belts.
That’s the latest from TRE, I’m Bob James.
