The petition,filed in the Fiji Supreme Court,argues the yachts owner is an unsanctionedRussian tycoon named Edward Kudenitov.And the seizure of the Ahmadiyya was illegal.the US government has decided togo after these playthings of theRussian elite to crack down onwhat they say is sanctions evas.And they’re they’re taking a tohline on this and they do wanteventually to be able to take teproceeds from these assets anduse them to help rebuild Ukrain.The petition also claims the maintenancecosts would have been paid by teyachts owner, not US taxpayers.If the Amadea had simply been detained inFiji and not seized by the United Statesout here live at Pepper Park inNational City, currently the USgovernment is paying to maintainthe amadea here in National Cit.That $1,000,000 figure is anestimate of what it typicallycost to maintain the vessel.But the DOJ does plan to sell teyacht at law at auction eventua,which would pay for the expensesincurred by the US government.And it is a beautifully hot Dav.It’s been nearly a yearsince that yacht was seized,and a lot of people have travel,traveled to the Bates just to check it out.It’s a a curiosity for people.But why has no forfeiture case nfiled in federal court at this point?Well, the DOJ did not respondto a request for comment.

One attorney told me typically aseizure case is filed within 90days after the asset is seized,but not in this case.This is a very complicated case,and prosecutors are going to haoprove who actually owns this ya,and that is going to take alot of international research.David Goffertson reportingfor us.
