The 41-metre Dynamiq superyacht Stefania has been sold for €10,000,000 at auction, with The Italian Yacht Group assisting the buyer. This is the second time the gold build has been put under the hammer following her seizure in a money laundering case involving her former owner, a Belarusian national.
The agency for the management and recovery of seized and confiscated assets (AGRASC) entrusted the firm De Baecque & Associés with organising the auction. Stefania was expected to be auctioned on 25 January 2024, though this was postponed by AGRASC and further delayed by a dry-docking period to uphold her RINA classification in April 2024.
