Spain has seized multiple russian vessels.
- Motor Yacht Tango — Owned/linked to Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg; seized in Palma de Mallorca under a Spanish court order at the request of U.S. authorities.
- Superyacht Valerie — Linked to Sergei Chemezov (head of state conglomerate Rostec); provisionally immobilised in Barcelona by Spanish authorities.
- Luxury yacht Lady Anastasia — Seized under EU sanctions in Spain; linked to Russian oligarch Aleksandr Mikheyev (head of Rosoboronexport).
- Superyacht Crescent — Reportedly detained in Spain (e.g., Tarragona) as part of sanction enforcement against oligarch-linked assets.
The Crescent alone has a value of almost 800 million €.
The ship was impounded in the Spanish port of Tarragona pending an inspection to establish its exact ownership, Spain’s transport ministry said.
