Authorities in Fiji seized the 348-foot (106-meter) Amadea yacht pursuant to a US warrant in May 2022 as Washington ramped up sanctions enforcement against people close to Russian president Vladimir Putin, to pressure Moscow to halt its war against Ukraine. In Monday's complaint, the US department of justice said Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov bought the Amadea in 2021, and then violated US sanctions by making more than $1 million in maintenance payments through US financial institutions.
