America is now on the way to increase tension with Russia. The US administration has started a decision to auction the properties of Arabs seized by Russia. In this connection, America is going to auction a seized luxury boat from Russia AMADEA. After the commencement of Russia-Ukraine War, this America is auctioning a Russian property for the first time.
Equipped with all the facilities of luxury, this boat has been priced at $ 325 million. This amount is about 29 billion in rupees.
This auction ending on 10 September is taking place at a time when President Donald Trump wants to increase pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war. The US has said that it is trying to pressurize the Russian wealthy class with its colleagues. Some of these rich are close to Putin. The US government has seized luxury boats of these nobles. So that these rich people force President Putin to stop the war.
Amaidia another name of luxury
Three years ago, he was confiscated and currently a 106 -meter long boat in San Diego was specially manufactured by German company Lursen in 2017. The boat designed by Frances Zuretti has marble. This luxury ship has eight state rooms, a beauty salon, a spa, a gym, a helipad, a swimming pool and a lift. It has a stay of 16 guests and 36 crew members.
Who is the owner of Amadia?
It has been quite controversial to determine who is the real owner of Amedia. Because the names of many trusts and shell companies are associated with this luxury boat. The boat is registered in the Cayman Islands and is owned by Milmarin Investments Limited located in the Cayman Islands.
The US claims that economist and former Russian politician Suleman Kerimov, who was banned by the US on charges of alleged money laundering in 2018, owns the boat. At the same time, former chairman of government -controlled Russian oil and gas company Rosneft and Chief Executive Officer Eachuard Swayamanatov is claiming to be the owner of this boat. Eduard Swayamantov is currently free from American restrictions.
American officials say that Khudainatov is a fake owner of the boat, its objective is to save and hide the real owner of the boat, Kerimov. A lawsuit is going on for the real ownership of the boat.
A representative of Swayamantov said in a statement by email on Wednesday that the sale of the boat is “inappropriate and prematurely” as Swayamnatov is appealing against a decision of this seizure.
Representative Adam Ford said, “We suspect that it will attract any rational buyer at the right market price, as ownership can be challenged and given in courts outside the United States, which will lead to expensive, uncertain litigation for many years.”
America seized in 2022
In 2022, the National Maritime Service officials took this boat in their possession. It has not been used since then. Now America is auctioning it. The bidders will have to send the price of this boat in sealed envelope. Apart from this, he will also have to deposit $ 11.6 million as an advance.
In May 2024, the US gave a package to help Ukraine. It has been given law status in the US. Based on this, any Russian property in the US region can be confiscated and it can be used for the benefit of Ukraine by selling it.
