He was alleged to have moved hundreds of millions of euros into France, in addition to conducting standard fund transfers without disclosing the money to French tax authorities.In 2023, Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York and Michael Khoo and David Lim, Co-Directors of Task Force KleptoCapture, announced the filing of a civil forfeiture complaint against <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a>. It was alleged that Suleiman Kerimov had improved and maintained the yacht in violation to the sanctions imposed on him in 2018.The complaint alleges that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> was therefore forfeitable, based on violations of U.S. law, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and money laundering violations.Read: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/62459" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea: US court hears ownership arguments for 106m seized Russian superyacht (2025-01-22 11:00:00 +0100)">Amadea: US court hears ownership arguments for 106m seized Russian superyacht</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347830/image/large-5c04ba913e564877c30818c9b008f5d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347830">Eduard Khudainatov’s ownership claimsDespite the allegations against Kerimov, another Russian businessman, Eduard Khudainatov, claims ownership of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> and is seeking to reclaim it. While Khudainatov is not under U.S. sanctions, he was blacklisted by the European Union in June 2022.At the closing arguments of an evidentiary hearing in New York, prosecutors asserted that Khudainatov had sold the yacht to Kerimov in September 2021, while retaining the title to act as its straw owner. In contrast, Khudainatov's legal team insists the yacht was never sold and argues that simply holding title is sufficient to establish standing in the case.Currently, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> remains docked in San Diego and is maintained by the US government as legal proceedings continue.The seizure of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> in April 2022 was one of the most significant early actions of Task Force KleptoCapture, an interagency group dedicated to enforcing sanctions and other punitive measures imposed by the US following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However, the forfeiture battle has been extended for nearly three years. In June 2023, a judge denied the government’s request to sell the yacht and proceed with a forfeiture case against its net proceeds.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/58937" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="US seeks ownership of 106m seized Russian-owned superyacht Amadea (2023-10-24 15:30:00 +0200)">US seeks ownership of 106m seized Russian-owned superyacht Amadea</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/313424/image/large-0dd2178fb66c02170abf05c01b2c0f9a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/313424">Attorney General Bondi disbands KleptoCapture Task ForceAs well as this, the U.S. Justice Department under President Donald Trump announced last week that it is shutting down Task Force KleptoCapture, a key initiative launched in response to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine to enforce sanctions and seize the assets of oligarchs close to the Kremlin.A memo from newly appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi, issued on Wednesday 5 February confirmed the move. The directive, which had not been previously reported, states that resources currently allocated to sanction enforcement and asset seizures will now be redirected to tackling drug cartels and international gangs.Adam Ford, a lawyer for Khudainatov, criticised the dissolution of the task force, calling it a "failed Biden administration publicity stunt" that had become a growing financial burden on US taxpayers. He described <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> as "the crown jewel" of the task force's efforts and asserted that closing arguments further reinforced Khudainatov’s claim to ownership.Created under President Joe Biden, Task Force KleptoCapture was instrumental in prosecuting Russian oligarchs and seizing their assets as part of a wider strategy to isolate Moscow from global financial markets.Since its inception, the task force led to the seizure of yachts belonging to sanctioned oligarchs, including Suleiman Kerimov and Viktor Vekselberg. While ongoing cases initiated by the task force will continue, its dissolution means the work will no longer be coordinated from Justice Department headquarters.Prosecutors assigned to the task force will return to their previous posts, with the changes in effect for at least 90 days and subject to further review, according to Bondi’s directive.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/54694" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Update on Russian yachts seized (2023-06-28 11:45:00 +0200)">Update on Russian yachts seized</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/105390/image/large-81c71ad249d93de4bf811139f4c37815.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/105390">Delivered in 2017, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> features exterior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Espen Øino International (Company)">Espen Øino International</a>, while her interior was penned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/67" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuretti Interior Design (Company)">Zuretti Interior Design</a>, with naval architecture by her builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> can comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests across an eight stateroom configuration, alongside an impressive crew of 36.

The former yacht owner and Formula 1 team boss Eddie Jordan has died at age 76. A statement made by Jordan’s family on Thursday morning revealed that he had passed away in his Cape Town home following a cancer diagnosis in December 2024. The Irishman was the owner of several yachts, including the 45.6-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/51" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Perini Navi (Company)">Perini Navi</a> sailing yacht Blush (now named <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/43" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mare Nostrum45.26m (148'6&quot;)Perini Navi2007">Mare Nostrum</a>) during his lifetime.&nbsp;As a former driver himself, the businessman won the Irish kart championship in 1971 but suffered an accident in Formula 3 in 1976, before transitioning to team ownership in the year 1979. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353276/image/large-df8254dd787bb5de9005e52062fe4b28.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353276">While his Eddie Jordan Racing team started with 12 people in 1987, it eventually amounted to 50 members once Jordan took part in F1 in 1991. Jordan enlisted engineer Gary Anderson to design their first F1 car, the 191, which still remains to this day.The CEO of F1 Stefano Domenicali commented: “We are deeply saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Eddie Jordan. With his inexhaustible energy he always knew how to make people smile, remaining genuine and brilliant at all times. Eddie has been a protagonist of an era of F1 and he will be deeply missed. In this moment of sorrow, my thoughts and those of the entire Formula One family are with his family and loved ones.”F1’s governing body, the FIA, echoed a similar sentiment, stating: “Eddie Jordan was a legend of Formula One. He made an invaluable contribution to global motor sport throughout his life. All of us at the FIA would like to send our deepest condolences to his family and friends at this very difficult time. Eddie will always be remembered as a great sportsman and passionate ambassador for Formula One on and off the track.”

"<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> gave us the creative freedom to propose an original interior concept for this popular series yacht, which felt like an ideal opportunity to celebrate the strength and vision of our shared Dutch heritage,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a> co-creative director, Marnix Hoekstra. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353254/image/large-b4d5ec8e5a62ef4dd1abbd818e4c8724.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353254">“At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>, we believe that interior design is more than just aesthetics - it’s a deeply personal experience. With a meticulous approach and a passion for creativity, we’ve infused the interior of YN206 with a unique vision and a touch of Dutch pride. Each step of the process is a journey, transforming inspiration into a beautiful reality crafted just for you,” added Hoekstra.At a volume of 345 GT, the vessel is able to sleep as many as 12 guests across a five stateroom configuration, while further accommodation is available to support a crew of up to seven members. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353260/image/large-205dd59a67fb76fefae11db161fcd131.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353260"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353261/image/large-70f696c82bab2559250b72c8e693d992.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353261">Among the yacht’s most standout amenities is her full-beam owner’s suite located on the main deck, which spans 37-square-metres and boasts forward-facing windows with 180-degree views. Remaining guests are hosted in two VIP ensuite staterooms and two additional staterooms on the lower deck. The main deck is also home to an expansive galley and pantry for dining.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353257/image/large-c6d9785772fef7abcb8dd1bbb9ed48f7.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353257">In terms of its decor, the owner’s suite is embellished with White Emperador marble walls, ash bleached oak floors and Belvedere quartzite basins in the ensuite bathroom. A detail that differentiates the eight Moonen Martinique from previous models is the aft-facing king-size bed. “It seems like a minor detail to flip the position of the bed, yet this gives owners clear sight lines out to sea when they wake rather than looking onto the bow which impedes the view,” Hoekstra shared.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353258/image/large-df2d8f704170e872b4f0e82cd1b780ca.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353258">At the heart of the yacht’s design are three materials: wood, leather and brass, which are married to a warm mid-century colour scheme of light taupe and grey. Inside the main saloon is an antique bronze mirrored ceiling referencing 17th century Dutch architecture, while several shades of blue and a Delftware-inspired mural on the dining room wall are also a nod to the Netherlands. As Hoekstra said, “The white and blue of Dutch Delftware porcelain is iconic and instantly recognisable.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353253/image/large-1ba4908b1bfa504a6c33f8526414f5e4.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353253">We used hand sketching techniques combined with artificial intelligence to create a scene that is rich with feeling, from the lush forests and deep bodies of water that we have in Holland, to the bird in flight which could be interpreted as the project’s namesake Moonbird.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353273/image/large-969bee81fa2b100d1d41612878472758.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353273">As for the ripped upper section of the mural, Hoekstra elaborated: “We didn’t want to make it neat and square but highlight the quirkiness of Dutch design by ripping the corner off. It's been made using revolutionary software, but guests are free to imagine the rest themselves. That itself is very Dutch.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353275/image/large-11bc7f2d1ef76ba86a17cf0694da4d2f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353275">Moving to the main deck lobby where a central staircase connects all three decks, here the glossy turquoise walls are paired with light taupe treads, a second mirrored ceiling and antique bronze finishes.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353274/image/large-21f8085a7430504317fcdb2de8dbb137.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353274">The 17th century motifs extend to the yacht’s sky lounge, which offers a framed TVabove a bioethanol fireplace with a cream marble surround.

The up-and-coming yacht designer made it to the finals of the Young Designer of the Year 2024 awards, in partnership with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>, with his design. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353182/image/large-cb1914a21320cc52b4ab8cc0a2f7712e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353182">Described by her designer as “a floating sanctuary that captures the essence of the Mediterranean,” Kossyra is christened after the Pantelleria, an island in Italy formerly known as Cossyra. By embodying the tranquil spirit of island living, this yacht design aims to offer a refuge from the hustle and bustle of modern city life. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353183/image/large-626a1e89c236cb2cf429c2dbb0561a78.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353183">From an outside perspective, the sleek, sculpted lines that encapsulate Kossyra’s exterior silhouette are a nod to Pantelleria’s fecund landscape which is dictated by mistral breezes, while also referencing the domed Dammuso rooftops that are characteristic of the island. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353184/image/large-42dacc286ece7b69e0d45bfbae3001dc.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353184">When it comes to her interiors, Kossyra’s indoor living areas are defined by peace, minimalism and simplicity, with soft, organic curves enhancing the sense of continuity between various spaces. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353181/image/large-fccb4ec806ff4a3ccd16a46952c8f5ed.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353181">Furthermore, the interiors are decked out in double-eight ceilings for an aerial spaciousness, while a number of locations merge the indoor and outdoor areas for more immersion with the surrounding maritime backdrop.One of Kossyra’s highlights is her beach club displaying a cave-like design for a closer connection to the natural elements and simultaneous sheltering. Those onboard are also invited to catch rays on the sunpads found on the main deck aft, or dine alfresco at a circular table located on the deck above, which also boasts a pool in the bow. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353180/image/large-cf1407f7d3a91bfdcc1bb69623e46344.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353180">On the same deck, is a forward-facing owner’s stateroom complete with an office and an ensuite bathroom including a bathtub. Meanwhile, Kossyra’s main deck is home to three double staterooms and a VIP suite for hosting the remaining guests. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353185/image/large-f6435fb5f02eb638cf2b4ac4f0ff8a24.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353185">“More than a yacht, Kossyra is a reflection of a way of life - where design, nature, and innovation come together to create a place of refuge and renewal. It is a vessel for those seeking to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean,” Canzoneri concluded.&nbsp;

The US aims to sell the vessel and transfer the proceeds to Ukraine in support of its defence against Russia’s invasion.&nbsp;However, the yacht's ownership is now in dispute, with another Russian businessman, Eduard Khudainatov, claiming he is the rightful owner. US authorities allege that Kerimov has owned and controlled <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> since 2021, in violation of sanctions imposed on him in 2018.&nbsp;According to Rachael Doud, Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, the September 2021 sale of the yacht was formalised in a purchase agreement, with Kerimov’s niece allegedly paying €225 million to complete the deal. Doud argued that while Khudainatov retained the yacht’s title, he did so only as a "straw owner" to bypass sanctions. “Kerimov and his family used the vessel and had plans to use it further,” Doud stated in her opening remarks.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/105384/image/large-c6473c6fe9a5f37d8cf2786549e3d775.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/105384">Khudainatov, who previously led the Russian oil giant Rosneft, disputes these claims, asserting that he has owned <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> since commissioning its construction. His lawyer, Adam Ford, countered that there is no evidence of a completed sale and characterised the agreement with Kerimov as a loan rather than a purchase. Ford further argued that Khudainatov has continued to exercise control over the yacht, with 15 witnesses supporting his claim.The evidentiary hearing, expected to run into next week, will determine whether Khudainatov has the legal standing to challenge the US government’s seizure. The judge will not decide the ultimate ownership of the yacht during this process, but Khudainatov must meet the burden of proof for his claim to proceed.Adding urgency to the case are <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a>’s high maintenance costs. The US government is reportedly spending approximately $750,000 per month on upkeep and insurance for the yacht. To date, around $30 million has been spent on its maintenance, according to a report from The Washington Post.Read: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/59739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="US files to auction 106m superyacht Amadea due to $7 million a year maintenance costs (2024-02-14 18:00:00 +0100)">US files to auction 106m superyacht Amadea due to $7 million a year maintenance costs</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/96211/image/large-dae9e43475b90582af381911fd3dfa88.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/96211">In June, Judge Dale Ho denied a US government request to sell the yacht and pursue its case against the net proceeds, citing the significant maintenance expenses.
