Italy seizes Russian oligarch Melnichenko's Sailing Yacht A
The 143-metre Sailing Yacht A, which has a price tag of 530 million euros , has been sequestered at the northern port of Trieste, the government said.
A spokesperson for Melnichenko, Alex Andreev, said the businessman had "no relation to the tragic events in Ukraine. He has no political affiliations". Since last week Italian police have seized villas and yachts worth more than 700 million euros from high-profile Russians who have been placed on the EU sanctions list, Economy Minister Daniele Franco said on Saturday.
The Solaris is one of a string of yachts owned by Chelsea Football Club owner Abramovich, according to reports in luxury goods publications SuperYachtFan, SuperYacht Times and Forbes.
