The fate of the Alpha Nero, the renowned #yacht created by #Oceanco in 2007, has become a captivating saga entangled in the web of US and European sanctions against a Russian #Oligarch closely linked to the Kremlin, amidst the turmoil of the Ukraine conflict. This maritime masterpiece, initially declared abandoned, bore witness to a dramatic series of events, including a raid by the FBI, allegations of unpaid bills and crew wages, and legal disputes that unfolded like a maritime thriller.
In a surprising turn of events, the government of Antigua & Barbuda opted to auction off the yacht in June, setting the starting bid at $81 million. Yet, the yacht's saga didn't end there. Reports emerged that the Alpha Nero had been acquired by Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, for a reduced sum of $63 million. However, Schmidt has not yet taken possession of the vessel, as the legal battle wages on.
The owner's daughter, who her father denied any ownership connection to, has emerged as the leading force behind the legal tussle, desperately striving to annul the sale and assert her property rights. As the stormy legal waters continue to churn, the Alpha Nero's future remains shrouded in uncertainty, leaving observers to ponder what awaits this iconic yacht in the chapters yet to unfold.
