The Zug-based commodity trader Vivalon AG bought 11,500 tons of wheat from a Russian company last October. The latter is said to have carried out the export on behalf of the above-mentioned Russian company GZO, which is registered in the Russian commercial register in occupied Ukrainian Melitopol. The San Cosmas, a US-sanctioned ship with a deactivated position signal, allegedly picked up the cargo in Sevastopol in occupied Crimea and transported it to Turkey. There, according to NZZ, it was received by the Turkish subsidiary of Vivalon.
