What Roman Abramovich has done with his two super yachts as Chelsea takeover nears completion

Roman Abramovich has reportedly sailed both of his luxury yachts to Turkish waters in order to stop them from getting seized from prospective government sanctions.

The Russian oligarch has faced intense scrutiny in the wake of Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. After having his properties in the UK seized, as well as being forced to relinquish control of Chelsea, Abramovich is now trying to protect his remaining assets.

Among those assets are his two super yachts, Eclipse and Solaris, and as per the Daily Star, he's sailed both to Turkish waters where it's jurisdictionally safe to keep them. The first of those two, worth an estimated £400million, is 160 metres long which was the world's longest private yacht when it first launched.
