AdvertisementThe US wants to sell a $300 million superyacht seized from a Russian oligarch because it's getting too expensive to maintain it, a court filing from Friday shows.
The problem is that another Russian oligarch, Eduard Khudainatov, claims to own the yacht and wants the vessel back.
They told Bloomberg in a statement that the seizure was "unlawful" and that their client would pay the US back for the maintenance of the Amadea yacht.
