The Asset Recovery and Management Agency announces the planned relocation of the seized yacht Royal Romance, owned by Viktor Medvedchuk, a person subject to sanctions, for mandatory maintenance.

In the near future, the vessel will be transferred to the port of Trogir (Croatia) under the protection of a police boat and a boat belonging to a private security company. After the technical inspection is completed, the yacht will be returned to its location —
the naval base in Split.

The position of Ukraine and the Republic of Croatia regarding the detention of the yacht Royal Romance at a military facility remains unchanged. The vessel is under arrest and under the control of ARMA.

After the vessel returns to the base, the Agency will appeal to the Office of the Prosecutor General with an initiative to update the process of selling the seized asset in accordance with current legislation.

We remind you that ARMA thwarted an attempt to steal the seized Russian vessel EMMAKRIS III and initiated the renewal of the ban on sailing for nine other Russian vessels. More on this in the next news item.

All seized ships transferred to ARMA's control are being monitored. Justice has a long reach. Even in the Adriatic Sea.
