A Fiji court today ruled seizure of a superyacht belonging to a Russian oligarch against whom they have been imposed sanctionsofficials said, referring to an asset valued at more than $ 300 million.
The court in Suva, the capital of the Pacific archipelago, “issued an order for the seizure of the Amadea superyacht” following a US warrant issued last month, the Fiji Attorney General’s Office said in a statement.
The yacht Amadea, which has been moored in Lautoka, in western Fiji since mid-April, is reportedly linked to Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimovwhich is subject to sanctions by the United States and the European Union after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The court had ruled on April 19 that Fiji authorities could block the ship from leaving the country’s territorial waters pending a decision on the US warrant.
Earlier, Fiji police said they were searching for a $ 325m yacht with a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a helipad and a “greenhouse” on its deck, according to superyachtfan.com.
Many expert websites report that Kerimov is the owner, but this could not be confirmed by the French Agency independently.
