March 16, 2022 – Croatian media report that the yacht Royal Romance was seized by Croatian authorities.
The yacht is owned by Ukrainian billionaire Viktor Medvedchuk, reportedly a close alley to Russian President Putin.
Royal Romance is one of several Russian-owned yachts in the port of Rijeka. This recently resulted in a series of threats against vessels and crews.
Therefore there is increased police surveillance in the Port of Rijeka.
On April 13, 2022, the Ukrainian Government reported the arrest of Viktor Medvedchuk on treason charges. It was not immediately clear where and how he was captured.
