Inside Everton-linked Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov’s £455m super yacht
THE enormous wealth stashed away by a Vladimir Putin crony who has escaped global sanctions can be revealed today — as investigators race to hunt his riches down.
Billionaire oligarch Alisher Usmanov, 68, has avoided the clampdown by moving billions of pounds worth of assets into other’s names - including his £455million ($600million) superyacht.
Luxury UK homes and aircraft owned by the mining tycoon had also been put into legal trusts “long ago”, gleeful aides crowed yesterday.
Investigators are now racing to prove his ties to assets like his 516ft boat Dilbar — which boasts a golden staircase costing £30million ($39million).
But Tory MP Bob Seely, an expert on Russian affairs, said last night: “We’re years behind on this.”
Uzbek-based Usmanov, who says he is “proud” to know Putin, was formally sanctioned by the UK on March 3.
