Russian vessels can be arrested in US because of Schneerson collection – RF Fisheries Agency

Russian vessels can be arrested in US sea ports, Sakhalin-Kurils territorial administration of Russian Federal Fisheries Agency says with reference to the warning of RF Transport Ministry. According to the statement, the threat comes out from the fact that the Federal District Court in Washington  complied with the demand of the US Hassidic community, Agudas Chassidei Chabad, in part of  possible financial sanctions to be introduced against the Russian Federation for the refusal to return the Lubavichi rabbies’ manuscripts, so called Schneerson collection. Therefore, RF state property not covered by diplomatic immunity, including vessels calling on US seaports are still under the threat of arrest aimed at making Russia execute US court judgment.
