A court in Fiji has handed a superyacht allegedly owned by a sanctioned Russian oligarch to United States authorities following a lengthy court process.
The $300m Amadea yacht, which Washington says is linked to sanctioned Russian billionaire Suleiman Kerimov, was seized upon arriving in the Pacific island nation in April at the request of the US. The move came amid a wider push by US officials and other countries to enforce sanctions against influential Russians, particularly by seizing luxury assets including yachts.
