US authorities found a possible Faberge egg aboard a 348-foot yacht with alleged ties to a Russian billionaire that was seized in Fiji.
The Amadea, a luxurious megayacht that’s nearly as long as a football field and features a helipad, docked in San Diego last month. The egg was among the items seized by a task force the US has dubbed KleptoCapture, which is pursuing the assets of Russian oligarchs sanctioned in response to the invasion of Ukraine.
