The U.S. government is spending more than $7 million a year to maintain the 'Amadea' which it seized from a Russian oligarch in 2022 and urged a judge to let it auction the vessel. Authorities in Fiji seized the yacht under a warrant alleging it was owned by Suleiman Kerimov, who has been placed under sanctions by the United States. Efforts to auction the yacht were being challenged by Eduard Khudainatov, who claimed he owns the yacht and says it cannot be forfeited because he has not been hit with sanctions. U.S. prosecutors stated that the excessive maintenance bill justified an auction.
