More Charges
A Somali man already charged with being a ransom negotiator in the hijacking of the “SV Quest” that ended in the deaths of four U.S. citizens has been indicted for his alleged role in pirating a German vessel.
Mohammad Saaili Shibin, 50, was charged this week in a 15-count superseding indictment alleging that he was a ransom negotiator for pirates who captured the “Marida Marguerite”, a German-owned ship with 22 crew members.
