Spanish police seize Russian-owned luxury yacht in Mallorca

Palma, Spain, Apr 4 (EFE).- Spanish Civil Guard seized Monday a Russian-owned luxury yacht, ‘Tango’, moored at the Real Club Nautico in Palma.

The yacht is owned by Viktor Felixovich Vekselber, a Ukrainian-born, Russian-Cypriot billionaire and chairman of Russian conglomerate Renova, local media reported.

‘Tango’ is the second Russian-owned yacht to be seized in Mallorca as part of European Union sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

In March, ‘Lady Anastasia’ was seized in Puerto Adriano.

The yacht was owned by Alexander Mijeev, CEO of Rosoboronexport, a Russian military weapons company. EFE
