$300M luxury yacht seized in Fiji on behalf of the US to fund UΑ’s defense buying NATO, US weapons
Fijian authorities have seized a $300m yacht owned by Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov at the request of the United States, according to the US Justice Department.
The move, which was announced on Thursday, is the latest by Washington and its allies to up pressure on Russia over its special operation in Ukraine, often targeting wealthy citizens known to have close ties to the Kremlin.
A court in Fiji ruled on Tuesday that the US could seize the Russian-owned super-yacht, weeks after it arrived and was impounded by police.
