RUSSIAN SANCTIONED IN ALFA NERO CASE

AUTHORITIES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM HAVE SANCTIONED RUSSIAN CITIZEN YULIA GURYIEVA MOTLOKHOV, WHO IS CLAIMING AN OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN THE ALFA NERO SUPER YACHT. HER ATTORNEY, DR DAVID DORSETT, CONFIRMS THE HIGH COURT WAS INFORMED OF THE SANCTIONS LAST THURSDAY, A DAY AFTER THE INFORMATION WAS RECEIVED. HOWEVER, HE INSISTS THIS WILL HAVE NO BEARING ON CASE IN WHICH SHE IS CHALLENGING THE GOVERNMENT'S SEIZURE OF THE VESSEL. HE DISCLOSES THAT THE COURT HAS SET THE WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 23 FOR THE TRIAL OF THE SUBSTANTIVE CASE, AND INSISTS: "OUR SHIP SAILING" IN REFERENCE TO THE CASE. ABS NEWS WILL CONTINUE MONITOR THESE DEVELOPMENTS.
