Germany denies confiscation of Usmanov’s yacht for $ 600 million

Hamburg authorities refute the previously important information in Forbes on the confiscation of the yacht of the Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanova worth $ 600 million, reports Spiegel.

“not a single yacht was confiscated in the port of Hamburg,” said the publication of the city management representative.

This indicates that currently the Dilbar yacht is on repairing Blohm + VOSS shipyard. However, it is emphasized that regardless of whether the yacht was officially confiscated, it is unlikely that she will leave the port of Hamburg. The reason for this, as the publication writes, are sanctions imposed on Russia due to events in Ukraine.

In particular, a member of the Hamburg Parliament on the economy Mikhael Westhaghaman stated that the transportation of goods from the port of Hamburg to Russia will be possible only if there are special customs permits.

Recall that earlier Forbes reported that the German authorities confiscated the 156-meter yacht of the Russian entrepreneur Alisher Usmanova.
