Italian police boarded the 459-foot vessel – which comes equipped with six decks, two helipads, a judo gym, a five-metre aquarium, a swimming pool which turns into a dance floor, gold adorned bathrooms and a self-playing piano – and informed the crew the ship would not be setting sail.

Judo gym is a dead giveaway that this belongs to Putin. Blows my mind how people seriously defend this guy as legitimate when he claims he makes $140k/year.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but this is my current take

    Putin’s wealth is extremely likely to come from Russia itself right? So his assets (purchased with Russian wealth) being seized by another country is technically not good because it will now be in the hands of another countrys bourgeoisie. Would it not be better for it to simply remain in Russia with Putin (in Russia) for when the Russian people are ready to return to socialism (however far off that is). Same goes for all Russian oligarchal wealth.
