Seized yacht of Russian oligarch to be auctioned
More than three years after the "Amadea," was seized from a sanctioned Russian oligarch, the yacht, valued at over $300 million (around €260 million), was put on auction on Aug 5. Bidders can submit offers until Sep 10. Bidders must make a deposit of $10 million. The Florida-based company National Maritime Services is in charge of the auction. The "Amadea" was seized in Fiji in April 2022 and is currently moored in San Diego, California. A US judge dismissed a claim for ownership by former head of the oil and gas company Rosneft, Eduard Khudainatov, in March. According to prosecutors, Khudainatov acted merely as a "front man," while the true owner is Russian billionaire Suleiman Kerimov. Sanctions were imposed on the close ally of Vladimir Putin because of the war in Ukraine.
Eduard Khudainatov filed appeal to seized yacht
Eduard Khudainatov, the former CEO of the Russian state-owned oil conglomerate Rosneft, has filed an appeal to the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit over his claim to the 'May Amadea', which US authorities seized in 2022 following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The development came after a US judge ruled in March that Khudainatov could not plausibly claim ownership of the luxury yacht, effectively granting the US Justice Department permission to sell the vessel at auction.
