Estonian police on Wednesday impounded a tanker which discharged toxic waste in Africa that has killed at least eight people, on suspicions it was flushing similar waste into the Baltic sea.
The prosecutor's office said the Panamanian-registered Probo Koala had been seized in the Estonian port of Paldiski.
'We have impounded the ship as it is under criminal investigation,' State Prosecutor Piret Seeman told Reuters.
