U.S. federal prosecutors have moved to seize the $90 million Airbus A319 plane owned by Russian oligarch Andrei Skoch, ABC reported on August 8, local time.

  According to reports, Andrei Skoch, known as the "richest man in the Duma," has been a member of Russia's National Assembly since 1999, and the United States says Skoch has "long-standing ties to Russian organized crime groups." Sanctions have been imposed on him since 2018.

After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out, the United States imposed further sanctions on Scotch and his assets.
