Captain Phillips: What Happened To Real Somali Pirate Abduwali Muse After The Hijacking
Abduwali Muse was the only surviving pirate of the Maersk Alabama hijacking. Muse pled guilty to six felony charges and was sentenced to 405 months, or nearly 34 years, in federal prison. Muse is currently serving his 33-year sentence in a federal prison and will be released in 2038 with five years of supervised release.
Abduwali Muse was a main focus of Captain Phillips, but the movie never explained what happened to the pirate after the hijacking. Captain Phillips focuses on the true story of the hijacking of the Maersk Alabama. On April 8, 2009, Abduwali Muse and three other Somali pirates boarded the Maersk Alabama, took control, and eventually fled in a lifeboat with Captain Richard Phillips as their hostage. It was the first time a United States ship was boarded by pirates since the early 1800s, and the true story behind Captain Phillips was just as intense as the movie depicted it.
