Vladimir Putin owns a gigantic 'royal' yacht worth over half a billion pounds docked in Italy and captained by a Brit, according to a political rival's team.
The investigation, by followers of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny - and allegedly aided by Western intelligence, suggests the Russian President owns the mysterious Scheherazade.
However, he's managed to escape EU personal sanctions brought about following his invasion of Ukraine, and so the mega vessel has not been confiscated, they claim.
