US deputy attorney general hails ‘interesting’ find on board yacht seized by US authorities and sailed from Fiji to San Diego

“We’re working with our law enforcement counterparts around the world to conduct searches on these yachts to make sure we have the authority and can go to a court, seize them and then forfeit the proceeds,” she added.

Monaco said if the jewelled egg was deemed to be authentic it would make it one of the few remaining in the world, and worth millions of dollars. Fabergé eggs have become a byword for opulence and luxury since the young jeweller was commissioned by Tsar Alexander III of Russia in 1885 to make one as a gift for his wife, Maria. It became a Romanov tradition for the next three decades.

Monaco told the forum she supported the idea that the profits of seized assets should be forfeited, possibly to be funnelled back into Ukraine, and authority to do so had been requested from Congress.
