On 3rd March, the Washington Post carried a thorough article beginning in a seaport called Kholmsk in Russia’s Far East. It says that at least 4 ships of different flags showed up in August and September to unload North Korean anthracite. Then, 6 other ships arrived to pick up coal and deliver it to foreign markets- the illicit North Korean coal transformed into Russian coal, which can be legally sold anywhere – some ending up in South Korea and Japan. Citing the recent UN report, it says that North Korea developed a complex scheme that depended on stealth, falsified documents and the heavily choreographed participation of officials and businesses in at least 3 countries.
