Italian police confiscated yachts and villas of Usmanov, Mordashov, Tymchenko and propagandist Solovyov

News agency Reuters reported about this. 

The publication reports that the villa of billionaire businessman Alisher Usmanov located on the Mediterranean island Sardinia was confiscated. Moreover, the sources confirmed that yachts owned by the richest man in Russia Alexey Mordashov and closely connected to the President of Russia Volodymyr Putin Gennady Tymchenko were confiscated as well at the northern Italian port Imperia.

In addition, the Italian law-enforcement officers confiscated a villa on Lake Como which was the property of state TV presenter Volodymyr Solovyov. The total value of the confiscated was at least 140 million euros.
