U.S. authorities may have a found a Fabergé Egg sitting around on a Russian oligarch's seized $300 million yacht:
. “We’ve been finding some really interesting things… we recovered a Fabergé—or alleged Fabergé egg.”
Monaco was one of three speakers on a panel titled “Freezing, Seizing, and More: Behind the Sanctions on Russia” about how law enforcement worked to enforce sanctions against Russia by seizing the nation’s assets. The jewel-encrusted Fabergé eggs, created between 1885 and 1917, are one of Russia’s best-known cultural exports. Experts believe that there were up to 69 made, including 50 “Imperial Eggs” made for the Russian tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II. Today, there are 57 known surviving eggs, 44 of which were part of the royal collection., which the U.S. believes belongs to sanctioned Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov, seized by the Fiji government at the request of the U.S.
The egg seized by the U.S. was aboard a yacht that had arrived from Fiji and is currently impounded in San Diego Bay.
Authorities still have to determine the egg’s authenticity, and have not shared photographs of the object. If real, it would likely be worth tens of millions of dollars.
