Police in Fiji detained the superyacht Amadea on April 14 after the vessel entered the state's exclusive economic zone after an 18-day passage from Mexico, which it made under the flag of the Cayman Islands.

In early May, the Fiji Supreme COURT allowed Amadea to be seized on a US warrant. On June 7, the court ruled that the superyacht must be removed by the United States, as it is a "waste" for the island nation to maintain the vessel during lengthy legal disputes. A week later, the 106-meter yacht moored in the administrative center of the state of Hawaii, the city of Honolulu.

The FBI said the operating costs of a $300+ million vessel are between $25 million and $30 million a year, and the United States will pay for the upkeep of the vessel after it is confiscated.

The group will explore ways to circumvent the restrictive measures and anti-money laundering laws of the United States and search for their assets.
