Amadea: Fiji pauses US seizure of Russia-linked superyacht

2 years ago

A Fiji court has suspended the execution of a US warrant to seize a $300 million superyacht Washington claims is owned by sanctioned Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov, prosecutors said.

The 106-meter Amadea has been targeted because Kerimov is among a group of oligarchs close to Moscow who have been sanctioned by the United States over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The yacht remains in Fiji police custody and is blocked from leaving the Pacific nation's waters despite the warrant suspension, prosecutors said.

The luxurious Amadea - which has a helipad, pool, jacuzzi and "winter garden" on its sun deck, according to tracking website superyachtfan.com - has been berthed in Lautoka, Fiji, in the South Pacific since mid-April.
