The 280-foot 'Amore Vero' super-yacht has been seized by French authorities as part of EU sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
According to the EU, Sechin worked with Putin in the St Petersburg mayor’s office in the 1990s. Sechin became Vladimir Putin’s deputy head of his administration in 1999 and deputy prime minister in 2008. He became the CEO of Rosneft in 2012.
The European Union emphasized that Rosneft was involved in "financing the vineyards of the palace complex near Gelendzhik, which is considered to be personally used by President Putin." They argue Sechin "actively supported materially or financially and benefited from Russian decision-makers responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine."
