Last week, Fijian law enforcement, backed by U.S. agents, took control of the superyacht under the warrant, which was lodged with the island state's High Court. The U.S. Justice Department requested the vessel, which it has estimated to be valued at $300 million, be seized for violating sanctions and for alleged ties to corruption.
