Federal Officials were authorized to seize<\/a> a Boeing 787-8 aircraft and a Gulfstream G650ER aircraft owned and controlled by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, officials announced Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The seizure warrant came from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York<\/span><\/p>\n

The court found that the airplanes are subject to seizure and forfeiture based on probable cause of violations of the Export Control Reform Act (ECRA) and the recent sanctions issued against Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

According to the seizure warrant and affidavit unsealed Monday:<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. Department of Commerce\u2019s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued various sanctions against Russia that impose export controls and license requirements to protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. <\/span><\/p>\n

These Russia sanctions include expanded prohibitions on the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of U.S.-manufactured aircraft and aircraft parts and components to or within Russia without a BIS license, and eliminate the availability of any license exception for aircraft owned or controlled, or under charter or lease, by Russia or a Russian national.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Boeing and the Gulfstream each were reexported to Russia (i.e.<\/i>, flown from a foreign country to Russia) in violation of the ECRA and regulations issued thereunder, including the recent Russia sanctions. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Boeing was flown to Russia on March 4, 2022 without a BIS license, and is now in the United Arab Emirates.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Gulfstream was flown to Russia on March 12 and 15, 2022 without a BIS license, and remains in Russia. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Boeing and Gulfstream are owned and controlled by Roman Abramovich, a Russia national, through a series of shell companies in Cyprus, Jersey, and the British Virgin Islands.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Boeing (pictured below), bearing tail number P4-BDL and serial number 37306, is believed to be worth approximately $350 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Gulfstream (pictured below), bearing tail number LX-RAY and serial number 6417, is believed to be worth approximately $60 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
