An Iranian-flagged tanker is reloading oil confiscated in April after Greek authorities approved the release of the cargo, Iran’s embassy in Athens and sources familiar with the matter said on Friday, APA reports citing Reuters.

“The operation to transfer Iran’s stolen oil to the Lana … is underway in Greek waters, and the ship will soon depart for our country with a full shipment of oil,” Iran’s embassy in Greece said on its Twitter account.

“The transfer has started,” a source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on condition of anonymity, while a second source said the process started on Friday and was expected to be completed in days.
