(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 03 - A 200 million dollar superyacht owned by Viktor Medvedchuk, a Ukrainian oligarch and friend of Vladimir Putin who is subject to sanctions, will be auctioned by Kiev after the seizure in Croatia.
A Croatian court - says the Kiev government - ruled that Medvedchuk's 92.5-metre yacht Royal Romance should be transferred to the Ukrainian Agency for the Recovery and Management of Assets (Arma), to "preserve the economic value by selling it at auction".
The Guardian reports it.
It would be the first time that an asset of an oligarch under sanctions has been handed over to the Ukrainian authorities.
