The Spanish Ministry of Transport decided to detain the superyacht Valerie, moored in the port of Barcelona, ​​​​which is allegedly associated with the head of the Rostec state corporation, Sergei Chemezov.

The cost of the vessel, according to the publication, is $140 million, or about €127 million.

The ruling states that the yacht is temporarily held until the authorities determine that “the said vessel is not owned, held or controlled by a person or entity” included in the EU sanctions lists.
