The Alfa Nero superyacht ownership dispute continued with intense debates and submissions.
Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, the Russian owner, was represented by Dr. David Dorsett, seeking to dismiss a government application.
Flying Dutchman Limited requested disclosure of documents, including insurance status and expenditure reports.
Challenges were raised against evidence from an American lawyer representing the government. Another application involved appointing a yacht expert to assess the boat’s condition.
The Alfa Nero, stranded in Falmouth Harbour for two years, poses environmental and security risks, costing the government thousands weekly.
Originally owned by Andrey Guryev, a close associate of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the vessel was auctioned in 2023, with legal challenges leading to the highest bidder, Eric Schmidt, withdrawing his bid.
