New York:
A luxurious supertatch belonging to Russian billionaire Suleman Kerimov on Monday can lead to a auction block after an American judge, which was rejected a competitive claim for ownership of $ 300 million vessel.
The 348-Foot (106-meter) AMADEA is docked at California Port in San Diego, when it was confiscated by American officials from the approved Russian elite.
Another rich Russian, Russian state oil and former head of Rosneft, Eduard Swayamantov claimed to be the right owner of the vessel in a New York court, but his claim was rejected by District Judge Dell Ho.
According to the prosecutors, Swayamantov was a “straw owner” of Amadia and the true owner was Kerimov, close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was approved by the United States in 2018 and 2022 in 2022 after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
After the invasion, the then President Joe Biden began to seize the property of the Russian elite classes close to Putin under the Biden, an operation known as the Task Force Claptocaptcher.
President Donald Trump dissolved the task force after taking over.
The US Congress passed a law last year that allows for the sale of seized Russian property, in which Aye is going to provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
