Footage of the dramatic moment in which Italian police raided the $ 700 million yacht allegedly belonging to Vladimir Putin has been published in the media.
The uniformed men arrived to hand over documents to the British captain of the Scheherazade yacht, Guy Bennett Pierce, and to inform him that she could not leave the marina, where she is currently undergoing repairs for several million dollars.
Authorities at the Italian port of Marina di Carrara near Pisa have been checking documents since March to determine the ultimate owner of the luxury court, the Daily Mail reported.
Supporters of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny have found that all members of Sheherazade’s crew are members of Putin’s personal security service. For one night, however, they evaporated and were replaced by British figures, who were told to stay on board properly.
Exclusive footage shows members of the Italian financial police approaching the yacht with the blue lights on. They boarded the court and were met by a crew member. There are several police cars on land. Helicopter noise is also heard.
