Despite Sanctions, Putin's Godfather Imports Italian Luxury Yacht to Russia

Viktor Medvedchuk, the godfather of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has imported a new Italian yacht valued at $9.6 million into the Russian Federation. This was reported by Ukrainian media.

The yacht was cleared through Russian customs and approached the Russian shores under the flag of Palau.

The 28-meter Pershing 9X speedboat, manufactured by Ferretti Group, features four cabins with 8 sleeping places. In total, the yacht can accommodate up to 20 guests. It was launched in 2023.

The recipient of the yacht according to customs documents is “Renaissance” LLC, whose true owner is Medvedchuk's wife, Oksana Marchenko. The company has granted the yacht a “temporary import” status, which exempts it from customs duties.

It is noteworthy that Viktor Medvedchuk, who is accused of treason in Ukraine, was exchanged for representatives of the Azov battalion.
