On 19 April 2022, the Russian-flagged ship Pegas, which was carrying Iranian oil and traveling through international waters in the Aegean, sustained damage while en route to the Peloponnese.[6] On orders from the Anti-Money Laundering Authority, the port officials in Evia's Karystos district confiscated the ship. The reason for the move was that it belonged to the Russian Promsvyazbank, which was under EU sanctions.[6]
