Dusseldorf, Berlin According to industry circles, the German authorities want to confiscate the mega yacht “Dilbar” owned by the Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov. Work on the 156-meter-long ship had already stopped on Wednesday, the US magazine “Forbes” reported on Thursday. The “Dilbar” has been revised at Blohm & Voss in Hamburg since October.
The basis for the confiscation are the sanctions against Russian oligarchs as a result of the war in Ukraine. Usmanov is considered a close confidant of Russian President Vladimir Putin and has been on a list of people to be sanctioned since the beginning of the week.
