Authorities in Fiji seized a yacht belonging to Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov following a warrant from the United States, finding documents that have implicated the owner of violating American law.
The 348-foot-long luxury vessel, Amadea, arrived in Fiji on April 13 after an 18-day voyage from Mexico. The vessel has been the focus of Washington’s seizure attempt as part of America’s sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
The $300 million Amadea was seized by Fijian police and FBI agents on May 4, two days after a local court granted a U.S. warrant that linked the vessel to money laundering.
