The German authorities seized on Wednesday a luxurious yacht owned by the Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov, one of the Russian businessmen close to Vladimir Putin sanctioned by the European Union.
Usmanov is one of the businessmen punished in response to the invasion of Ukraine. The European Union justified its decision by considering that it is “one of the preferred oligarchs” and supposed name-bearer of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Usmanov would have paid 600 million dollars for the ship in 2016 to a German company that custom built it over a period of 52 months.

The Dilbar has a weight of 15,917 tons, making it the largest motor yacht in the world.

Inside it has 04 suites that can accommodate a maximum of 24 people, according to Forbes magazine.
Usmanov, a businessman in the metal sector, has significant investments in companies from different fields, has a fortune that Forbes currently estimates to be more than 14,000 millions of dollars which places him in the position 99 of the list of great millionaires that the magazine produces. This week he left the post of president of the International Fencing Federation (FIE) after being sanctioned by the EU.
