Five fishermen indicted

A federal grand jury in Alaska has returned an indictment charging five commercial fishermen with conspiring to illegally harvest halibut, federal prosecutors announced today.

Here's a press release with more details.

The 18-page indictment indicates the government is seeking forfeiture of two fishing vessels, the 40-foot Bad Intentions and the 26-foot New Era.

Enforcement will be much easier when the halibut gets shut down completely in five years.
