Billionaire Viktor Vekselberg, an oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin, has had his luxury yacht seized by authorities in Spain, say police.
It is part of sanctions imposed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.
Spain's Civil Guard and US federal agents descended on the yacht in the port of Palma de Mallorca, the capital of Spain’s Balearic Islands.
Superyachtfan.com, a specialist website that tracks the world’s largest and most exclusive recreational boats, values the 78-metre vessel, called Tango and carrying the Cook Islands flag, at $120 million (€109 million).
