Kerimov was sanctioned by the United States in 2018 and labeled a “specially designated national” for its alleged role in money laundering linked to the purchase of French villas.
The control of the American department of foreign assets determined that Kerimov was a direct beneficiary of the Russian president Vladimir Putin and “played a key role in the progress of the malignant activities of Russia”, which includes the invasion of Ukraine.
The United States said it was working with allies to put pressure on the Russian oligarchs, some of which are close to Putin and have seized their yachts, to try to force him to stop the war, reports the Associated Press.
The Amadea was seized in Fiji in April 2022 and arrived in San Diego in June of the same year.
The American district court of the South New York district ruled in March that the Amadea was to be confiscated from the federal government. This decision is on appeal by the man who claims to have the sumptuous ship – Eduard Khudainatov, the former non -profit president of the Russian oil giant controlled by the Rosneft State, according to the Associated Press. American prosecutors argue that Khudainatov is a yacht straw owner.
