The Russian billionaires were also sanctioned because of the Ukraine war. Putin’s confidante Alisher Usmanov is now quite specific: his yacht was confiscated in the port of Hamburg.-

The Russian attack on Ukraine has dominated the headlines for a week. While the bombs are falling in the country, the EU is trying to put pressure on the country with sanctions against Russia’s elite. In Hamburg, this is said to have had very concrete consequences: the Dilbar yacht was apparently confiscated by the authorities in the port of Hamburg.
This is what Forbes magazine reports, citing industry insiders. Accordingly, the authorities “froze” the yacht as part of the sanctions against Putin confidante Alisher Usmanov as part of his assets. (Read more: These Are the Sanctioned Oligarchs — And Here’s How They Stand With Putin.)
According to the report, the workers at the shipyard did not show up for work on Wednesday, probably as a result of the confiscation. At the request of the stern not comment on the process, only referred to the fact that, of course, the current legal situation should be adhered to. According to the “Hamburger Abendblatt”, the authorities initially did not want to confirm the confiscation either.

One of the longest yachts in the world
Usmanov is considered a close confidante of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The industrialist is one of the richest men in the country, according to “Bloomberg” his fortune is estimated at around 20 billion euros. Born in Uzbek, he earned his money primarily in the mining and metals industries, but also managed the gas giant Gazprom as general director on behalf of Putin.

The yacht, which is valued at between 540 and 720 million euros, has been in the Hamburg dry dock for maintenance work since October. The ship was built in 2016 by the German Lürrsen shipyard in Bremen over four years specifically for the oligarch. She is “one of the most complex and sophisticated yachts ever built, both in terms of her dimensions and her technology,” according to the shipyard. With a length of 156 meters, she is one of the largest motor yachts in the world. She is luxuriously equipped with a 25 meter pool, two heliports and 20 cabins.
The oligarchs’ yachts had sparked discussions in Hamburg in the past few days. The Left Party had demanded that at least one of the yachts be confiscated. The government of Mayor Peter Tschentscher confirmed on Wednesday that no more yachts are allowed to leave the port. Putin himself had already saved his yacht “Graceful” from the sanctions from the port: It left the port of Hamburg completely unexpectedly in early February in the direction of Kaliningrad.
