Italy spends 30 thousand dollars a day on the maintenance of the seized yacht of the Russian billionaire Melnichenko, -. Forbes Superyacht Sail A has been moored in the port of Trieste for more than four years. Its maintenance costs the Italian taxpayer more than 11 million dollars a year. The money goes to the crew, security, insurance, fuel and keeping the vessel in good condition. And this is not the only such yacht. More than 15 million dollars were spent on the salaries of the Shahrazada team, which was connected to Putin, and the maintenance of the yacht Lady M of the billionaire Murdashov cost about another 2 million dollars. The reason is a legal trap: the yachts are frozen, but not confiscated. According to European rules, Italy is obliged to maintain their value, and owners cannot pay for maintenance due to sanctions. As a result, Russian billionaires are left without access to their toys, but European taxpayers foot the bill for them. Hakin.az Contact us.
