US seeks to seize 2 luxury jets linked to Russian oligarch

NEW YORK, 08 June 2022, (TON): US authorities moved to seize two luxury jets a $60 million Gulfstream and a $350 million aircraft believed to be one of the world’s most expensive private airplanes after linking both to Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.

A federal magistrate judge signed a warrant authorizing the seizure of the Gulfstream and a Boeing jet that authorities said was worth less than $100 million before a lavish customization.

The action takes place just days after the United States announced new sanctions and penalties on Russian oligarchs and elites, Kremlin officials, businessmen linked to President Vladimir Putin and their yachts, aircraft and firms that manage them.

President Joe Biden promised after Russia’s February invasion of Ukraine to pursue Russian elites’ ill-gotten gains.
