21 yachts with potential ties to Russian oligarchs have been detained in Finland while authorities

determine ownership

Finland has barred 21 yachts from leaving the country while officials investigate the suspicion that they belong to Russian oligarchs, the head of Finnish customs said this week.

The customs department began telling winter storage facilities of the decision last week, according to Helsingin Sanomat, which first reported the news.

"They're not boats an ordinary citizen would have, but they're not 150 meters long either," Sami Rakshit, head of the enforcement department, told Bloomberg.

"We don't assume that all the detained yachts fall under sanctions, but that is what we are trying to determine now," he added.
