ONE of the world's biggest and most luxurious megayachts is sitting essentially abandoned after it was linked to a Russian oligarch with ties to Putin. <\/p>\n
The 270ft Alfa Nero is currently languishing in a port in the tiny island nation of Antigua after the \u00a3100million vessel was boarded nearly two years ago by armed police. <\/p>\n
\n \n<\/p>\n
Stickers reading "seized" were plastered on the vessel – and since Putin invaded Ukraine back in February 2022 the yacht has sat at the centre of a complicated legal storm.<\/p>\n
Alfa Nero has a 40ft infinity pool, an onboard jacuzzi and spa, and a helipad – it is a floating palace. <\/p>\n
It is believed to have been owned by secretive Russian billionaire Andrey Guryev, who has been sanctioned by US and UK for his ties to the Kremlin. <\/p>\n
The yacht was seized by authorities in Antigua, who want to try and sell the vessel. <\/p>\n
