The yacht remains in Fiji police custody and is blocked from leaving the Pacific nation's waters despite the warrant suspension, prosecutors said. The luxurious Amadea -- which has a helipad, pool, jacuzzi and "winter garden" on its sun deck, according to tracking website superyachtfan.com -- has been berthed in Lautoka, Fiji in the South Pacific since mid-April.
