MOSCOW — Russia moved to quash speculation that a freighter embroiled in a high-seas mystery might have been carrying sensitive cargo, saying Tuesday that an initial search of the ship last week uncovered nothing suspicious. But the Foreign Ministry statement appeared unlikely to end the questions about the vessel and its voyage.
The statement was issued just hours after a report quoted Russia’s top investigator as saying it was possible the ship was carrying more than just timber when it left Finland last month with an all-Russian crew.
