The US had asked“The arrested British citizen is the owner and administrator of a trading company based in Mallorca that offers maintenance and administrative services to boats,” the Guardia Civil said.
The force added that the suspect and his company are thought to have earned as much as €800,000 for looking after the oligarch’s yacht. “According to the indictment, among other things, Masters devised a scheme to use a false name for the yacht, ‘the Fanta’, in order to hide from financial institutions that payments in US dollars were ultimately for the benefit of Tango and Vekselberg.”
“The United States will not allow its financial institutions and persons to be manipulated or defrauded for the purposes of benefiting those supporting an illegal war,” he added.
