Our World: The Hunt for the Russian Superyachts

BBC News - Our World, The Hunt for the Russian Superyachts

Our World tells the inside story of the game of cat and mouse with Russian superyachts.

The inside story of the game of cat and mouse between some of the world’s most powerful nations and some of Russia’s richest men.

For many Russian oligarchs, their superyachts have long been their most prized assets. But when Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine, some of those superyachts became targets for an unprecedented set of sanctions launched by the west. Many yachts were seized or detained, others tried to escape in a hurry and some seemingly disappeared. With an exclusive interview with the head of the US KleptoCapture Task Force, Our World tells the inside story of the game of cat and mouse between some of the world’s most powerful nations and some of Russia’s richest men.
