U.S. billionaire’s superyacht arrives in B.C. for ‘necessary repairs’ amid COVID-19

The arrival in North Vancouver of a luxury superyacht owned by an American billionaire is raising eyebrows, amid a continued closure of the U.S. border to all but essential travel amid the coronavirus pandemic .

100 million dollar yacht vancouver

The 100-metre Attessa IV belongs to Montana industrialist Dennis Washington and has been valued by Forbes at about a quarter-billion U.S. dollars.

The vessel arrived on the North Shore on Tuesday from Port Angeles, Wash., as the U.S. continues to struggle to contain the spread of COVID-19.

In a statement, Transport Canada said non-essential travel into the country “including travel by pleasure craft such as the Attessa IV” remains prohibited.

But the Washington Companies, a business umbrella owned by the billionaire that includes Canada’s Seaspan, said the yacht is in the region for “necessary repairs” and was cleared by the Canada Border Services Agency.

“Crew members were tested prior to joining the vessel,” said executive vice-president Tim McHugh in an email.

“The entire crew was tested on June 19 and declared healthy, and each has been individually cleared by CBSA for entry to Canada with the ship to perform their duties during the repair period.”

The Canada-U.S. border remains closed to non-essential travel until July 21, while a mandatory 14-day quarantine for all entrants to Canada is in place until the end of August.

The CBSA said it could not speak to specific cases, but said Canada does exempt some workers from the quarantine “to ensure that critical infrastructure, essential services and economic supply chains continue,” such as firefighters and medical workers.

“This exemption includes asymptomatic persons in the trade and transportation sector who are important for the movement of goods and people, including truck drivers and crew on any plane, train or marine vessel, that cross the border while performing their duties or for the purpose of performing their duties,” the agency said.

People covered by the exemption must wear a mask on the way to their destination and must self-isolate when not performing their duties, said the CBSA.

Washington’s company said the vessel is expected to remain dockside until September, when repairs should be completed.

B.C. welcomes high rollers: A peek into the world of superyacht tourism

superyachtcreditglaciermedia

Greg Norris walks along the docks at Victoria International Marina on a sunny Friday afternoon, fielding phone calls and making sure everything is flowing well. 

On any given day, the marina welcomes many yachts that choose to stop in B.C.’s capital. Most recently, a US$35-million sailing yacht by the name of Athos docked. On July 14, crew members could be seen getting the 62-metre long vessel ready for its next sailing. 

Athos isn’t the only superyacht to enter B.C. waters; not far away off Cattle Point is a $100-million superyacht called Anawa. The Anawa is owned by a Brazilian billionaire and has been near Victoria since May 2023. 

Over on the mainland, a $200-million vessel called Attessa V (AV) has been  drawing attention in North Vancouver . Dennis Washington is listed as owning AV and his network of companies includes Washington Marine Group and Seaspan Shipyards in North Vancouver, where Kyle Washington, Dennis Washington’s son, is executive chairman.

For Norris, the CEO of Victoria International Marine, B.C. is starting to put itself on the map when it comes to attracting superyachts. For a long time, many international travellers would bypass the province altogether and head for Alaska, he says.

“Those yachts down in San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle and Tacoma that used to come up and just bypass us because they didn't know there was anything to do and now they're turning in and stopping and spending some time,” says Norris.

Superyacht owners are spending locally 

As part of his job, Norris spends time arranging for superyacht owners to visit Victoria businesses. That includes connecting them with local jewellers. 

“When they are visiting here, they're looking to spend money on art, and in the community, on all kinds of things: food and real estate and buying from retailers,” explains Norris. “They're just like any one of us: they go into a store, they like something, they buy it. It's just that they might buy a lot more.”

Sometimes superyacht owners will fly their friends in, and will put them up in nearby hotels, he adds. Crew members will often stay in hotels, too.

"They're all spending [money] locally.”

Unfriendly Canadians? 

However, Canadians’ friendly demeanour and politeness appear to not have transferred to the superyacht community, Norris tells Glacier Media.

During his time marketing B.C. internationally, he says that specific boating community has been ‘grumpy’ towards him after learning he’s from Victoria. 

"They basically said B.C. and Victoria, in particular, is one of the most unfriendly boating places in the world that they've seen,” said Norris. "I would say barring pirates."

He questions if the animosity is because the public does not get to interact or be ‘welcomed into the community’ of superyachting. 

“They don't get a chance to meet these people and see them so they don't know who they are,” he says. "It’s this mystery."

The public can come down to the dock and walk around to see the boats, something Norris welcomes. 

‘Exciting way to see the world’

According to Norris, the superyacht industry creates job opportunities for young people.

He tells Glacier Media that the marina has a high staff turnover as employees end up working on the bigger yachts.

“We're open to it. We don't think that that's a bad thing if they come on, and that's their career,” he says. “If they're hard-working, the yachts pick them up. There’s not a lot of them being trained in the region purposefully for that."

Norris adds yachting is an exciting way to see the world.

“You come down, you work here for a little bit and you have a really good chance of getting on one of those boats and just seeing stuff you would never see.”

The marina, he says, is actively hiring and looking for people interested in the marine industry. 

Superyacht repairs being done in B.C. shipyards 

Superyachts need an incredible amount of work to keep them running, and much of that work is being done locally when they arrive, says the CEO. 

"There are well over 100 industries that it touches: everything from fuel, to ship repair to almost anything you would have in a house you would have in a yacht,” says Norris. 

He believes more yachts will start coming to Victoria and having their work done in the shipyard.

What the US$600M 'world's biggest yacht' will look like inside

100 million dollar yacht vancouver

It's set to be one of the largest private residence yachts in the world when it launches in 2024, but what does a luxury apartment on board the 728 foot (221 metres) Somnio actually look like?

Interior renderings of the US$600 million vessel have just been unveiled, offering a glimpse inside what's being described as the world's first "yacht liner."

While all 39 of the floating apartments, which come with a private balcony or terrace, are said to be "fully customizable," some of the options showcased include huge shell-shaped beds, expansive living areas with ocean views, and wall-length mirrors.

FLOATING HOMES

Prices start from around $11 million, with sizes ranging from 1,600 to 6,500 square feet -- the largest condo takes up most of the top deck.

Somnio, which means "to dream '' in Latin, was designed by Winch Design and Tillberg Design of Sweden, and will be built by Norwegian ship designer and builder VARD.

The interior renderings were devised by Winch Design, Tillberg Design of Sweden along with Luttenberger Design.

Those who snap up a condo on "the most exclusive address in the world" will get to work with one of the design teams for up to three months in order to "decide the room configurations and select the materials, furniture, lighting and artwork."

EXCLUSIVE ADDRESS

A gym, a library, inside and outside dining spaces, "distinct" dressing areas and a "vast living room space with 270-degree forward views" are among the options available, although the layout is to be based on the buyer's preferences.

The identity of the owners will be kept secret, but all residents will have access to full concierge services "for both onboard and land-based needs."

"As the only residential superyacht in the world, we are delighted to work with designers that complement our exacting standards," Captain Erik Bredhe, co-founder of Somnio, said in a statement.

"Our owners will experience only the best, as is befitting of a yacht of this nature."

SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS

According to its designers, sustainability will be a key focus for Somnio, which is to be constructed with the "latest clean engine technology" along with materials and products to "create environmentally responsible interior design with a reduced impact" where possible.

Among the shared on board amenities onboard available include a 10,000-bottle capacity wine cellar and tasting room along with a lounge located in the ship's bow, a spa, a movie theater, restaurants and a beach club.

Residents will be charged an annual fee to cover expenses like maintenance and repairs, along with fuel and food.

A spokesperson for the project tells CNN Travel that Somnio has attracted exceptional interest since it was unveiled earlier this year, with some apartments already sold.

At present, The World, which measures 643 feet, is the largest private residential yacht on the globe, with a combination of studios as well as one to three-bedroom apartments on board.

GOLD RECORD: Pioneering rock’n’roll deejay Red Robinson and Carole celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary today.

CAPTURE RELEASED: Heffel Auction House VP Robert Heffel had a high old time Wednesday, getting $1.05 million for a Jean-Paul Riopelle painting among lots that totalled $11.5 million. Four nights earlier, at investment dealer Eric Savics’ West Vancouver home, he auctioned 15 pieces of “lens-based art” — photographs, that is — assembled by Capture Festival founders Kim Spencer-Nairn and Julie Lee. Several met or exceeded catalogue estimates. One that didn’t, Edward Burtynsky’s digital print of a Thompson River cliffside — one in a series of 10 — still fetched $9,500.

ONE BIG YACHT: That sleek vessel cruising into Seaspan’s North Vancouver yard reminded some of the three Pacificat fast ferries built there for $4.6 million then repurchased by Seaspan for four cents on the dollar. It was actually Russian vodka mogul Yuri Scheffler’s 440-foot yacht Serene, 38 feet longer than a Pacificat and, at $330 million, costing more than two together. That’s still chump change beside fellow Russian Roman Abramovich’s 557-foot Eclipse, which cost over $500 million and has its own submarine.

MANY SMALLER YACHTS: The 4,500-member Royal Vancouver Yacht Club sent a whole fleet out for its recent opening-day sailpast. Power and sail crews saluted club commodore Geoffrey Peretz and wife Margo aboard their motor yacht Shasta. Members lined up again Thursday on the Point Grey clubhouse’s forecourt and terraces to see Prince Andrew open an expanded dry-storage deck. The “sailor prince” resurfaced at the Vancouver Convention Centre Thursday, when the Business Laureates of B.C. Hall of Fame inducted Teck resources chair Norman Keevil and Future Shop founder Hassan Khosrowshahi.

LESSON LEARNED: Six years of serving on the committee that stages the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation’s annual gala gave Coryn Hemsley plenty of opportunity to watch Joanne Houssian, Barb Inglis and other former chairs raise funds. When her turn at bat came up at the recent Goldcorp-presented event, Hemsley showed she’d learned the game by netting $772,500 for the North Shore facility.

BIG BANG: Some 240 sky searchers will attend a Canadian Astronomical Society conference at UBC May 27-30. According to local astronomy professor Jaymie Matthews, who is a member of Douglas Scott’s organizing committee, programmed events will run from the Where Will Einstein Fail? powwow to a dinnertime induction of Tycho Brahe Society members. The name commemorates a 17th-century “naked eye” astronomer who failed to take bathroom breaks during a drinks-fuelled Prague banquet and died from a burst bladder.

SUPPER FOR THEIR SINGING: Having learned that choral music fans also value cuisine, Vancouver Chamber Choir president David Cousins, general manager Steven Belanger and longtime predecessor Violet Goosen welcomed supporters to another annual fundraising dinner at Lidia and Claudio Ranallo’s La Piazza Dario Ristorante this week. Grace Chan, Lorraine Reinhardt and Madeline Lucy Smith sang to Eric Hominick’s piano, watched closely by Jocelyn Lai, 22. A UBC music grad and student of city virtuoso Jane Coop, Lai will join 12 others selected globally for two-year solo-piano studies at New York’s Juillard School. She’ll play Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin at UBC’s Baccalaureate Concert in the Chan Centre Wednesday.

BERRY WELL: When Alf and Sandee Krause launch a winery at their Langley berry farm May 26, they’ll echo the B.C. wine industry’s birth. Okanagan grape wine wasn’t made commercially until the 1930s. But future B.C. Conservative Party leader Herb Anscomb had Saanich loganberry growers turn 1921’s surplus crop into hooch like Old Logana that, unlike the Krauses’ elegant bottlings, had the curbside connoisseur in mind.

DOWN PARRYSCOPE: Despite rumours of an eight-o-one movement axing Christy Clark a minute after polls closed on a Liberal wipeout, the party’s actual numbers game was two-five-ten. PS: Try it in French.

Ferries and freighters and yachts, oh my: Vancouver had a lot of ship news in 2023

Some years one subject has a big year, with lots of stories in the news cycle on the topic.

In Vancouver, for some reason, 2022 was the year of radio announcements, with several stations rebranding (including one going viral worldwide ), beloved retiring anchors, and more.

This year it was anchors of a different sort as there seemed to be an inordinate amount of ship news  in Vancouver in 2023. While the English Bay Barge was very much a 2022 thing, yachts, ferries, and boats of all sorts were often in the headlines this year. And a barge, again.

Vancouver nearly got a new English Bay Barge

After the year-long visit by the English Bay Barge in 2021 and 2022, many who walked to seawall were happy with the restored view.

And then, almost exactly two years after the original arrived (and almost exactly a year since the last piece was hauled away), a second barge nearly ran aground at nearly the exact same place.

Luckily coast guard and tugboat crews on the water were able to drag it away just moments before it touched sand.

Vancouver nets visiting mega yachts

While it's not unusual to see multi-million dollar yachts on the waters around Vancouver, there were a few absolutely massive ones that caught the attention of anyone down by the sea.

One was a humongous $200 million, 95-metre superyacht  owned by an American billionaire. Another, worth an estimated $100 million, floated into Vancouver waters a couple of weeks later (along with a helicopter hidden below decks). Each costs millions to run each year.

Old BC Ferries ships for sale

Old BC Ferries popped up in the news a lot recently, including one that went down.

In November, a decommissioned BC Ferries vessel known at one time as the  R.J. Breadner  sank near Sechelt .

Meanwhile, two others were up for sale, and, given their prices, could have made decent homes in Metro Vancouver. One was the Bowen Queen , which was retired in 2022. and hit the market with bids of around $125,000.

The other was a piece of Pacific maritime history. The Queen of Tsawwassen , as it was known for most of its life, was for sale a couple of times. It was one of BC Ferries' original two ferries and was built locally. Now it's a barge (and seems to have sold again earlier this year).

New BC Ferries ships can't sail

A regular issue this year was BC Ferries' current fleet. Both staffing issues and mechanical issues caused travel havoc and delays for those wanting to go between the mainland to the nearby islands.

One delay BC Ferries wasn't responsible for happened in May when someone drove their vehicle onto the Queen of Surrey  and then walked off on the other side, catching a bus. Staff spent an hour searching the ship for the missing driver.

Hullo there

Hullo Ferries launched this year, offering an alternative to the beleaguered BC Ferries. While there have been several attempts to create a new passenger ferry service between the Canadian mainland and neighbouring islands (there was even a hovercraft at one point) none have stuck around for too long.

Hullo is looking to break that streak, and while things got off to a rough start , they've continued the service between downtown Vancouver and downtown Nanaimo consistently since. 

Unusual freighters in Vancouver waters

There were a few curious ships in Vancouver's waters this year.

The Shofu Maru   is a unique ship in the world for one very obvious reason. It's the only freighter in the world that has a massive, telescopic hard sail.

The hard sail is a new system that aims to reduce the carbon footprint of transoceanic shipping.

Vehicle freighters caught the eyes of people near English Bay a couple of times. While the more common, low-slung cargo freighters are a constant in the area as they travel to and from the Port of Vancouver, less common (although they do show up a fair amount).

They're very tall compared to other freighters, and work sort of like a massive roll-on-roll-off ferry (like BC Ferries).

Cruise news

Some industries are still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, but it seems visiting cruise ships are back in full. In fact, beyond that. It was the busiest year ever , with a solidly surpassing the old record number of passengers in 2019.

This cruise season saw 1.25 million passengers, according to the port authority .

With growth like that it's not surprising there's discussion around a terminal in Delta .

An electric tugboat  is at work in the harbour

Vancouver's getting electrified, literally. While electric cars and trucks are becoming commonplace, other vehicles are just turning over to renewable sources of power.

While there was much pomp and circumstance around Canada's first electric firetruck recently, Seaspan put a 7,000 horsepower fully electric tugboat in Vancouver Harbour this summer.

Outside the Salish Sea

Not far away there was the story of a Victoria man who got locked up in Oregon after leaving dead fish at the house from the Goonies  and then getting rescued by the US Coast Guard when the stolen yacht he was on started going under near the mouth of the Columbia River. Video from the rescue shows the yacht being rolled by a wave.

There is also the team of rowers on an incredibly demanding trip across the Atlantic, including two women from Metro Vancouver.

Why the U.S. put a $1 million bounty on a Russian yacht’s alleged manager

On Sept. 3, 2020, the staff of a $90 million yacht placed an order with a U.S. company for a set of luxury bathrobes that came to $2,624.35.

For roughly two years before that, according to federal prosecutors, the yacht’s management had been falsely claiming it was working for a boat named “Fanta.” But the luxury bathrobes came embroidered with a monogram that, prosecutors said, revealed the yacht’s true identity: “Tango.”

That was a problem, officials say in court papers, because Tango was owned by a Russian billionaire under U.S. sanctions, and doing business on his behalf violated federal law.

Late last month, U.S. authorities unveiled a $1 million reward for information leading to the arrest and or conviction of the man they say was running the yacht staff and orchestrated the deception with the robes — Vladislav Osipov, 52, a Swiss-based businessman from Russia. In a new indictment , federal prosecutors say Osipov misled U.S. banks and companies into doing business with the Tango yacht despite the sanctions on the Russian owner, whom the Justice Department has identified as billionaire Viktor Vekselberg .

Osipov has denied the allegations. Osipov’s attorney has said that the government has failed to demonstrate that Vekselberg owned the yacht, and that its management was therefore not a sanctions violation.

The reward offer for Osipov reflects the latest stage in the evolution of the West’s broader financial war against Russia two years into the war in Ukraine, as the United States and its allies increasingly target intermediaries accused of enabling Russian oligarchs to circumvent sanctions.

Many Russians close to President Vladimir Putin have been under sanctions dating to 2014, when Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine and sent proxy forces into that country’s eastern Donbas region. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, President Biden vowed to deal a “crushing blow” with a barrage of new sanctions on financial institutions, industries, business executives and others tied to the Kremlin. But roughly two years later, Russia’s economy has proved surprisingly resilient after the nation poured tens of billions of dollars into ramping up its military industry. Moscow has also worked around the sanctions, finding new third parties to supply it with critical military and industrial hardware, as well as countries beyond Europe to buy its oil.

Now, the West is trying to increase the reach of its sanctions by digging deeper into Russian supply chains. Late last month, the Treasury Department announced more than 500 new sanctions targeting Russia , primarily on military and industrial suppliers. The Justice Department also announced charges against two U.S.-based “facilitators” of a Russian state banker who is under sanction, as well as the guilty plea of a dual national based in Atlanta who was accused of laundering $150 million through bank accounts and shell companies on behalf of Russian clients.

Prioritizing criminal charges against — and the arrests of — Western employees of Russia’s elites represents a new escalation of the U.S. financial war against Putin, experts say. One Moscow businessman, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, said many influential Russians are concerned about the arrest of two associates of Andrey Kostin, the head of VTB, Russia’s second-biggest state bank. These associates, Vadim Wolfson and Gannon Bond, were charged with helping Kostin evade sanctions by maintaining a $12 million property in Aspen, Colo., for Kostin’s benefit while concealing his ownership. Kostin has said that the charges of sanctions evasion against him are “unfounded” and that he has not violated any laws . Bond has pleaded not guilty; Wolfson hasn’t made an initial court appearance yet.

Wolfson, also known as Vadim Belyaev, had been a Russian billionaire until the Russian government took over his bank in 2017. Bond, 49, is a U.S. citizen from Edgewater, N.J. For all Russians living abroad and working with people in Russia, the threat of criminal charges is a much more worrying prospect than the sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department last month against hundreds of individuals and entities, the businessman said, in part because sanctions are far easier to dodge than criminal charges.

“What you have seen through today’s public announcements are our efforts at really targeting the facilitators who possess the requisite skill set, access, connections that allow the Russian war machine [and] the Russian elites to continually have access to Western services and Western goods,” David Lim, co-director of the Justice Department’s KleptoCapture task force, which is tasked with enforcing U.S. sanctions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, told reporters last month.

Thad McBride, an international trade partner at the law firm Bass Berry & Sims, said the crackdown on intermediaries reflected the natural evolution of the U.S. sanctions campaign in response to Russian adjustments.

“It seems to me they have gone through a comprehensive list of the oligarchs, and you can debate whether or not it’s had a meaningful impact on the Russian war effort,” McBride said. “Because they’re getting smarter about who’s who, they’re finding other people who play meaningful roles in these transactions, even though they’re not showing up in the headlines.”

The charges against Osipov related to his alleged management of the Tango yacht illustrate the mounting potential consequences for people in Europe and the United States who attempt to do business with Russians targeted by Western allies, as well as the opaque structures allegedly employed by those seeking to evade sanctions.

With a net worth estimated by Forbes in 2021 at $9 billion, Vekselberg, 66, has long drawn scrutiny from the West — and sought to safeguard his wealth. He made his initial fortune in aluminum and oil in Russia’s privatization of the 1990s and then expanded into industrial and financial assets in Europe, the United States and Africa, with Putin’s blessing. In addition to the yacht, federal prosecutors say, Vekselberg acquired $75 million worth of properties, including apartments on New York’s Park Avenue and an estate in the Long Island town of Southampton.

Vekselberg, who declined to comment for this article, has not been criminally charged by the Justice Department. In a 2019 interview with the Financial Times, he denounced the sanctions as arbitrary and harmful for international business, saying he had been targeted just because he was Russian and rich and knows Putin.

In April 2018, the Treasury Department under the Trump administration sanctioned Vekselberg and six other Russian oligarchs as part of broader financial penalties over the Kremlin’s invasion of Crimea, support for President Bashar al-Assad in Syria and interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Vekselberg was also targeted for his work for the Kremlin as chairman of the Skolkovo Foundation, an attempt to create Russia’s version of the Silicon Valley — evidence that appeared to undermine the Russian businessman’s claims that he operated independently of the Kremlin.

But with Vekselberg’s payments monitored by U.S. banks, according to the federal indictment , Osipov used shell companies and intermediaries to avert the bite of sanctions. Vekselberg kept other major assets out of the reach of U.S. authorities by making use of the Treasury Department’s 50 percent ownership rule, which stipulates that it is illegal to transact with firms only if an owner under sanction controls more than 50 percent of the business.

For example, a month after Treasury imposed sanctions on Vekselberg in April 2018, his Renova Innovation Technologies sold its 48.5 percent stake in Swiss engineering giant Sulzer to Tiwel Holding AG, a group that is nevertheless still “beneficially owned” — meaning, owned in practice — by Vekselberg through Columbus Trust, a Cayman Islands trust, according to Sulzer’s corporate filing. Vekselberg’s longtime right-hand man at Renova, Alexei Moskov, replaced one of Vekselberg’s direct representatives on the board. Moskov told The Washington Post that he stepped down from all his executive positions at Renova Group in 2018 after U.S. sanctions were first imposed and from that moment ceased to be Vekselberg’s employee.

The attempts to circumvent the sanctions appear to have found some success in the U.S. legal system. Columbus Nova, a U.S.-based asset management fund controlling more than $100 million in assets in the U.S. financial and tech industry, is run by Vekselberg’s cousin, Andrew Intrater. The firm battled for more than two years to lift a freeze on Columbus Nova’s assets, imposed by Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control because of the sanctions on Vekselberg, and won, reaching a settlement agreement with the Treasury Department. After renaming itself Sparrow Capital LLC, Columbus Nova successfully argued that Intrater — not Vekselberg — owns the fund. Intrater argued that the company was 100 percent owned by U.S. citizens and that no individual or entity under sanction held any interest in it. Intrater said Columbus Nova had earned fees for managing investment funds owned by Renova. He said he had repeatedly told Treasury he would not distribute any funds to Vekselberg.

Now Osipov, the alleged manager of Vekselberg’s $90 million yacht, is attempting a similar argument as U.S. authorities seek his arrest on charges of bank fraud, money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and violations of sanctions law.

The federal indictment states that the Tango was owned by a shell corporation registered in the British Virgin Islands that was in turn owned by several other companies. The Virgin Islands shell company, authorities say, was controlled by Osipov, who also served in senior roles for multiple companies controlled by Vekselberg. U.S. officials also say Vekselberg ultimately controlled the other companies that owned the Virgin Islands shell company.

According to the indictment, a Tango official instructed a boat management company in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, to use a false name for the yacht — “Fanta” — to disguise its true identity from U.S. financial institutions and firms, which try to avoid doing business with an entity or person under sanction.

Working at Osipov’s direction, according to the indictment, employees for Tango bought more than $8,000 worth of goods for the yacht that were unwittingly but illegally processed by U.S. firms and U.S. financial institutions, including navigation software, leather basket magazine holders provided by a bespoke silversmith, and web and computing services. The management company running Tango, run by Osipov, also paid invoices worth more than $180,000 to a U.S. internet service provider, federal prosecutors say.

The Tango was seized by the FBI and Spanish authorities in the Mediterranean not long after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, and Osipov was first indicted last year. The owner of the Spanish yacht management company hired by Osipov, Richard Masters, 52, of Britain, was criminally charged last year by federal prosecutors with conspiracy to defraud the United States and violating federal sanctions law. A request for comment sent to Masters’ firm was not returned.

But in recent court documents, Osipov’s attorney argues that the yacht was not more than 50 percent owned by Vekselberg, and that the government hasn’t demonstrated it was. Barry J. Pollack, an attorney at Harris, St. Laurent and Wechsler, also says the government never warned Osipov of its novel and “unconstitutional” application of federal sanctions law.

“The government points to no precedent that supports its extraordinary interpretation and cites no authority that allows the traditional rules of statutory construction to be turned on their head,” Pollack wrote in a defense filing. The filing adds: “[Osipov] is not a fugitive because he did not engage in any of the allegedly criminal conduct while in the United States, has never resided in the United States, did not flee from the United States, and has not concealed himself.”

Still, the State Department’s Transnational Organized Crime Rewards Program has said it will provide up to $1 million for information leading to Osipov’s arrest, warning that he may visit Herrliberg, Switzerland; Majorca, Spain; or Moscow.

The case demonstrates the extent of the U.S. commitment to tighten the screws on those seen as aiding Russian elites, even if they themselves are not closely tied to the Kremlin.

“When DOJ levels legal action against an individual or entity, they have quite a bit of evidence, especially because the threshold to press charges for money-laundering and sanctions evasion is so high,” said Kim Donovan, director of the Economic Statecraft Initiative within the Atlantic Council’s GeoEconomics Center. “We’ve had quite a bit of experience targeting Russia directly, and what you’re starting to see is the U.S. go after the facilitators enabling sanctions evasion. That’s where the U.S. is focusing its efforts right now.”
