Associated Press reporters in the port of Palma de Mallorca, the capital of Spain’s Balearic Islands, watched FBI and Homeland Security agents along with members of the Spanish Civil Guard go in and out of the Tango, Vekselberg's $120 million vessel.
All of Vekselberg’s assets in the United States are frozen and American companies are barred from doing business with him and his entities. The Ukrainian-born businessman built his fortune by investing in the aluminum and oil industries in the post-Soviet era.

I hope they Make sure that boat has no tracking devices or anything in it hidden…
I wouldn’t want to be a U.S. yacht owner looking forward. Payback is coming somewhere ….
Cause so many yacht owners travel to the Arctic ocean and Sea of Okhotsk with all the lavish vacation sites and beautiful beaches.
oh….that saved alot of ukrainians
My thoughts EXACTLY! They really just stole it …
Give that man back his boat, that’s stealing
True…it hard to live without a yacht
Its not being seized, it’s a special touring operation
Hunter needed a new toy to sit on and paint his NFTs while secret service look on.
Rich people with ill-gotten gains stealing other rich people’s ill-gotten gains. What a country.
Perfect
If this was my yacht, I would like to place 100lbs dynamite in lower deck operating by phone.
A 3 hour tour???
So now the “Big Guy” is stealing yachts? Why am I not surprised?
@Fading Wolf*** I’m reporting facts, not my fault you disagree with facts
@Just A Hair Do you get paid for this or is it a public service you offer, like a urinal at a road side gas station?
@Just A Hair By the way, you don’t get to charge President Trump rent for living in your head 24/7 when you’re the one keeping him there.
@Just A Hair Did you actually have anything to say that relates to my comment in any way, shape or form or did you just come here to scream about your favorite bogey man?
Hunter guess what your getting for Christmas
Oh it must be for Hunter 🧐
Hahahaahh, probably take them to some island to abuse more children with, let’s go Brandon!!!!

Hunter needed a new boat.

🇷🇺 is doing what’s best for the union, Ukraine tried to go against big brother.
And I’ll bet none of the money from seizing the yacht will go towards homeless veterans or our own bills.
We get a yacht thats a money pit to maintain…Russia keeps its Boeing jets and stops making payments. We got a bad deal. Hunter running drugs in that might work tho😂
