The $50 million was taken into custody by the UK government. The captain of a $50 million superyacht has hit out at blatant racism shown toward Russians who don't want to be linked to the Ukraine war. Guy Booth, captain of the 192-foot Phi, which has been linked to a Russian businessman, told New Zealand publication Stuff that the yacht's crew was 100% British and always has been, and they opposed Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Putin. Booth said that they do not condone the blatant racism shown towards those Russians that wish to not be associated with the conflict. Booth said the owner of the Phi was guilty by association of his passport only, and that they had never been connected with anyone who is.

According to Insider, officials told the staff that the yacht was owned, controlled, or operated by a person connected with Russia. Shapps said that by detaining Phi, authorities had turned an icon of Russia's power and wealth into a clear and stark warning to Putin and his cronies. After making its maiden voyage there from the Netherlands, Phi has been moored in Canary Wharf. The vessel is the property and responsibility of the owner, but can't leave the dock, according to an NCA spokesman. According to Booth, the Italian authorities inspected the ship on Thursday and requested comprehensive documents before telling the staff that everything appeared to be in order.
