Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov’s megayacht has been seized amid a crackdown on oligarchs friendly with Vladimir Putin, it has been reported.
The 512-foot Dilbar, described as Usmanov’s prized possession, was frozen by German authorities on Monday. The vessel, with an estimated value of £600million, remains at shipyards in the northern city of Hamburg where it has been for a refitting job since late October.
The move is part of an asset freeze on Usmanov after he was sanctioned by the European Union in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
