DOJ moves to seize 2 planes from Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is seen on the stand during the Barclays Premier League match between Chelsea and Sunderland at Stamford Bridge on December 19, 2015 in London, England.

A judge in New York signed a warrant for the Justice Department to seize two jets owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.

The seizure effort is the latest in a series of sanctions against Russian billionaires.

According to documents filed in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan, there are two jets tied toAbramovich.

The planes were flown to Russia in violation of U.S. export restrictions.

According to court records, the Boeing is worth $350 million.

Court records show that the plane is in Russia.

A series of shell companies were used to control the Boeing and the Gulfstream, according to an affidavit filed by an FBI agent.

A chart detailing the ownership of planes lists Abramovich as the beneficiary of an entity in Cyprus named "The Europa Settlement Trust", which in turn had ownership and control of an entity called "wotten overseas holdings limited" in the island country of Jersey.

The affidavit says that a Jersey-based shell company called Clear Skies Flights limited was the owner of the plane.

Wenham Overseas is based in the British Virgin Islands and is the owner of the Boeing plane.

Assets worth more than $7 billion were frozen in Jersey in April.

The head of state in Jersey is Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.

Military protection is provided by the United Kingdom.
