Amadea, a $325 million megayacht tied to Russian lawmaker and gold billionaire Suleiman Kerimov, won’t be leaving the South Pacific island nation of Fiji anytime soon.
A Fijian court has ordered the detainment of the luxury vessel, preventing it from leaving the territory while authorities work with the U.S. to formally seize it. A court in Fiji on Thursday set a hearing for April 25 regarding the registration of the U.S. warrant to seize the vessel, according to a media liaison in the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
