| 摘要： | In a recent marine pollution enforcement action involving a bulk carrier, the U.S. Department of Justice included charges of "obstruction of justice." The case involved intentional discharges of about 10,000 gals, of oily waste onto the waters off Louisiana by a bulk carrier in 2021. Ship personnel failed to use the oily-water separator and oil content monitor. Further, they did not record the discharges in the ship's oil record book. Obstruction of justice is a crime that covers a broad range of acts that impede the efforts of authorities in investigating or prosecuting a criminal matter. This could include giving false statements to investigators or prosecutors to throw them off the trail, lying under oath, making threats to witnesses or hiding evidence. Different penal codes could define the crime differently from state to state. |
