A British man who is wanted by the US authorities for allegedly helping a Russian oligarch evade sanctions relating to his $90m superyacht has been arrested in Spain.
The Briton, named by the US Department of Justice as Richard Masters, 52, has been charged with facilitating a sanctions-evasion and money-laundering scheme involving Tango, a 255ft luxury yacht belonging to Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian oligarch under US sanctions who is an associate of Vladimir Putin.
Vekselberg, the founder of a Russian energy conglomerate, has been the target of US sanctions since 2018.

Good. May they fall. >

All these traitors to their countries is comical in a horrifying, twisted sense. I guess at least it’s not like America where the former President and the Republicans, still in office right now, support treason like they do. Citizens wonder why politicians don’t car; it’s because politicians are traitors to their own country and citizens like this Briton pick up on it. The issue with this Briton is they forgot they aren’t in charge and can’t get away with it. >

I think its far more likely he did it to make money and ended up getting caught.
