It is interesting to know that the auction is still subject to a legal procedure at the Italian Supreme Court. The court could decide to return the yacht to her (former) owner Flavio Briatore.
But Ecclestone is a long-time business partner and friend of Briatore, so he could have bought the yacht to ‘save it’ for Briatore.
