STEFANIA
Sold/Decommissioned
The 'Stefania' will be auctioned on March 27, 2025, in La Ciotat. The ship, owned by a wealthy Belarusian involved in a money laundering case, is estimated at between 10 and 12 million euros. Built in Monaco in 2021, the yacht received a prestigious award for its design before being seized as part of an international investigation. The ship was confiscated near Genoa, before being transferred to the shipyards of La Ciotat. Initially planned two years ago, its sale was postponed to allow for work. This is the largest seizure ever carried out by AGRASC, the agency responsible for managing assets seized by the courts. The agency thus assures buyers of a "serene" acquisition. The proceeds of the sale will be fully donated to the State budget.
