Key Background
Kerimov was first designated as an official of the Russian government in 2018 and he was re-sanctioned in September of 2022 in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In June of 2022, the Amadea was seized by authorities in Fiji at the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, which have claimed Kerimov violated several American laws, including money laundering and conspiracy. A winding legal saga followed as the government attempted to prove the true ownership of the ship, which was purchased using shell companies and trusts and under the proxy-ownership of oligarch Eduard Khudainatov. In August of this year, the U.S. said it would auction the Amadea in an attempt to put pressure on Russian oligarchs and compel them to ask Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. The auction of the Amadea was the first sale of a seized Russian luxury vessel since the start of the war, according to the Associated Press. A dozen Russian-linked yachts have been seized around the world in the last several years, including in Italy, Spain and France.
