PARIS (Reuters) – A yacht belonging to a company in which the Russian oligarch Igor Sechin has been identified as the main shareholder has been seized by French customs at the shipyard in La Ciotat (Bouches-du-Rhône), said on Thursday the Minister of Economy and Finance, Bruno Le Maire, on Twitter.

This seizure of the yacht Amore Vero was carried out overnight from Wednesday to Thursday in application of the sanctions imposed by the European Union on Russia after its military offensive against Ukraine.
