Released in 2016 at a reported cost of over $ 648 million (49 493 million), it includes an 80-foot pool and two helipads, making it the largest super yacht ever built in terms of capacity.
German police say German authorities have been working in Brussels to ensure European Union sanctions are applied to the owner.
At the same time, according to the German police, the yacht, which is located in a shipyard in the port of Hamburg, can no longer be sold, rented or loaded.
The United States and the EU announced last month financial sanctions against Mr Usmanova metal tycoon, for his ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin and in retaliation for the invasion of Ukraine.
I am glad to see further sanctions being applied to those linked to the Russian regime.
Yesterday, German officials seized Alisher Usmanov’s $ 735 million yacht, the Dilbar, after it was found to be secretly owned by his sister. https://t.co/WKrHZy4t9X
