Russian oligarch's 2 superyachts worth nearly $100 million were seized by French authorities

Two superyachts worth nearly a total of $100 million, which are owned by a Russian oligarch, were recently seized by French authorities, Agence France-Presse reported.

Alexei Kuzmichev, 59, was a cofounder of Alfa-Bank, the largest private bank in Russia, and has a net worth of about $6.2 billion, according to Forbes.

Kuzmichev's 17-meter yacht, "Little Bear I," worth $22 million, was impounded on March 16 in Cannes, a city on the southeast coast of France, a government source told AFP on Wednesday.

The Russian banker's other vessel, "Little Bear II," worth $76 million, was confiscated on Monday in Antibes, a coastal town near Cannes, the government source told AFP.
