Authorities in Hamburg impounded Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov’s superyacht Dilbar after determining it was legally owned by his sister, who is also subject to Western sanctions over the war in Ukraine.
The 512-foot vessel, the world’s largest by volume, had been undergoing refitting in the northern German port city. Boasting two helipads and an 82-foot swimming pool, it’s valued at $600 million to $750 million, according to the U.S. Treasury.
Germany’s federal crime office said Wednesday that despite efforts at what it called “offshore concealment,” it had determined that the yacht’s owner is Usmanov’s sister, Gulbakhor Ismailova.
