The German government has confiscated the yacht of Russian businessman Alisher Usmanov, writes Forbes.

According to the publication, the yacht was arrested by the German authorities in Hamburg. The cost of the 156-meter yacht is estimated at $600 million.

Alisher Usmanov is one of the Russian businessmen who fell under Western sanctions after the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine.

Recall, on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin made an emergency appeal to the Russians and announced a special military operation in the Donbass. In his speech, he stated that “circumstances require decisive action from Russia” and stressed that “Russia will not allow Ukraine to have nuclear weapons.” In response to Russia’s actions, Western countries (USA, Canada, European Union, Great Britain, Japan) announced new, tougher sanctions against the Russian Federation, including financial and economic ones.
