(Picture: AP)A superyacht that American authorities say is owned by a Russian oligarch previously sanctioned for alleged money laundering has been seized in Fiji, the US Justice Department has announced.
A judge in Fiji earlier this week permitted US authorities to seize the yacht Amadea - worth 325 million dollars (£263 million) - but also put his order temporarily on hold while defence lawyers mounted a challenge.
