    The 2,750 tonnes cargo of Khabarovsk-born businessman Igor Grechushkin was detained in Lebanon in 2013.

    The Russian father of one, currently reported to be living in Limassol, Cyprus, was accused by the crew of his ship in abandoning both the people and the cargo. 

    The ship called Rhosus was going under the flag of Moldova from Batumi in Georgia to Mozambique. It was detained in October 2013 by Lebanese authorities after it stopped in Beirut due to a malfunction on board. 

    The cargo was checked and detained after the port authorities said it was ‘lacking documents and conditions necessary for transportation.’

    The crew - eight Ukrainian and two Russian men - was forced to stay on board of the vessel while the owner Grechushkin declared himself bankrupt and ‘abandoned the ship’. 

    Lebanese authorities agreed to let six out of ten sailors to leave the country, others were left stranded on the ship for almost a year. 

    ‘The owner of the ship Igor Grechushkin effectively abandoned the ship and the remaining crew.

    'He is not providing us with money, he completely deprived us of all means of communication.

    'He told us that he went bankrupt and while I don’t believe him, the most important thing is that he gave up on both the people and the cargo’, wrote captain Boris Prokoshev back in June 2014 in a desperate plea to international organisations, diplomats, authorities of Ukraine and the authorities of the port of Beirut to release them.

    Yup. My uncle studied at the America University there and lived there right before things went to shit. It was an Arab jewel, so naturally angry forces had to pound it into sand

    I just read the other day that Steve Kerr's dad was the president of the university there until he was murdered/assassinated outside of his office back in the 80s
