GIBRALTAR, United Kingdom — Gibraltar police have arrested the Indian captain and chief officer of a seized Iranian tanker suspected of breaching EU sanctions by shipping oil to Syria, a spokesman for the Royal Gibraltar Police says today.

The two men, both Indian nationals, were arrested this afternoon but neither has been charged, the spokesman adds.
