Flavio Briatore’s Force Blue superyacht ends up at auction

• Gioacchino Ferrari
• January 11, 2021

Seized in 2010 for tax evasion, Briatore’s Force Blue superyacht will be auctioned in late January

, between the search for a new owner and the announcement of a final verdict that has been awaited for over a decade.

Actually, the legal issues related to Flavio Briatore ‘s superyacht , seized in 2010 off the coast of La Spezia, seemed to be resolved with the limitation on appeal. The boat, however, has remained in the care of the judicial guardian and will be put up for sale on January 27th , before the Supreme Court expresses itself in this regard: the hearing is set for February 12th.

The reasons why the Force Blue will be auctioned (the auction is authorized by the Appeal Court of Genoa) would be represented by the potential loss of the superyacht overall value and the management of maintenance costs, deemed too high by the keeper. A difficulty that would have worsened last year due to the lockdown, which inevitably interrupted the charter activities, however authorized on board the Force Blue since May 2010, when the Italian Financial Police seized the boat in the waters of La Spezia.

Flavio Briatore’s Force Blue superyacht ends up at auction: confiscation, restitution or compensation?

The boat, built by Royal Denship in 2002, is 62 meters long, has three decks and weighs 1,325 tons . It is owned by Briatore’s Autumn Sailing society and is one among the 100 largest superyachts in the world, as well as one among the most famous boats belonging to VIPs.

What is striking is the fact that the sale will take place two weeks before the final decision by the Supreme Court, which could return the pleasure boat to the Italian businessman or confirm the seizure. if the boat has already passed into the hands of the new owner, Briatore would only be entitled to a cash compensation . We’ll see. What is certain is that the long journey of the Force Blue is now coming to an end.

Flavio Briatore appeals tax fraud conviction over use of yacht Force Blue

Flavio Briatore, the Italian tycoon and former boss of the Benetton and Renault F1 racing teams, is appealing a recent sentence to 23 months in prison for tax evasion.

The sentence, which was handed down by the Italian courts, relates to the entrepreneur’s use of superyacht Force Blue , bought by Briatore for just under £70m in 2009 from Roy Speer, the American founder of Home Shopping Network.

The Italian Financial Police boarded and sequestrated Force Blue back in 2010 just over five years ago in May 2010 in La Spezia, near Genoa on the Italian Riviera. The reason for the action and subsequent charge was the accusation that Briatore had not paid the appropriate amount of taxes on the fuel used by the yacht.

The action eventually resulted in a court case and Briatore’s conviction for tax evasion of €3.5 million. Briatore denied the charges and his lawyers have launched an immediate appeal against his sentence.

He disputed the authority’s charge that Force Blue was entirely for his personal use and that of his friends and family. The prosecution in turn pointed out that the yacht was registered to a charter company in a tax haven and that the company enjoyed a number of tax breaks that would not have been eligible for a single owner and personal use. They also pointed out that everything on the boat from the bed linen to the crockery had the initials FB on them. The defence pointed out that these were the initials of the yacht and that it is known that all big charter boats contents and furnishings bear the logo or initials of a boat.

In a high profile career, Briatore has often courted controversy and his personal life has occasionally played out in the glare of publicity. He was banned for life – later successfully overturned on appeal – by the F1 authorities following accusations that he had deliberately orchestrated a crash at the 2008 Singapore grand prix.

The appeal continues.

Written by Zuzana Bednarova

To be represented by Premium Yachts, Ferretti Yachts and Riva , two prestigious brands of the Ferretti Group, will be present at the Moscow International Boat Show 2013, displaying motor yacht Ferretti 530 as well as Riva Iseo yacht tender.

Luxury motor yacht Ferretti 530

Luxury yacht Ferretti 530 was very keen to undertake in collaboration once again with AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group Engineering Division and Studio Zuccon International Project . The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.

Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.

Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior

Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.

Riva Iseo superyacht tender

Due to its ease of manoeuvrability and size, Iseo yacht tender is also ideal as a tender for large yachts. Innovative and elegant, it can also guarantee comfort in bad weather conditions. Besides the electrohydraulic bimini top, it was also designed with a waterproof, automobile-style soft top which protects those on board against water and the wind during cruising.

Flavio Briatore’s Billionaire Store Opens in Moscow

The Billionaire fashion store that is owned by Renault Formula One team Principal Flavio Briatore opened in Moscow. The Italian tycoon’s menswear label, Billionaire Couture , was launched in prestigious and one of the most expensive shopping areas in the world at Tretiakovsky proezd, home of Bvlgari, Ralph Lauren, Chopard, Armani, Prada, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Baccarat boutiques. It’s a debut Billionaire store in Russia, though two corners in TSUM department store and Barvikha Luxury Village opened already in 2008 and draw a huge interest to the label.

The event gathered a lot of potential customers. The entrance to the 538-square-foot boutique was organized through the Ferrari saloon. Briatore himself spent very little time in the store and went to an after-party directly followed by his guests.

Established in 2005 with Italian designer Angelo Galasso, the label is named after Briatore’s exclusive Sardinian club, Billionaire. The designs themselves are as subtle as the name, featuring exotic-skin shoes, jewel-studded jackets and peacock-patterned silk shirts. The price tag on a long-sleeved shirt is more than $980, while a printed leather jacket clocks in at more than $5,300. A crocodile-skin jacket will cost you more than $8,000, while a pair of delicately embroidered slippers cost above $1,000. Famous customers of the Billionaire brand include David Beckham, Sir Paul McCartney, Harrods ex-owner Mohammed Al-Fayed and ex-James Bond Roger Moore. Aside from the new Billionaire in Moscow, Briatore’s high-end fashion empire boasts stores in Vienna, Las Vegas, Tokyo, Dubai and London. Briatore plans to extend his clothing venture by opening stores in Istanbul and Kazakhstan.

How Leni Klum and billionaire businessman Flavio Briatore rebuilt their fractious father-daughter relationship after years of 'never seeing each other' and her being adopted by Heidi Klum's ex Seal

By Kate Dennett For Mailonline

Published: 04:50 EDT, 27 August 2023 | Updated: 11:18 EDT, 27 August 2023

View comments

Leni Klum has been enjoying a very luxurious holiday on her billionaire businessman father Flavio Briatore's yacht in recent days, travelling around France and Italy.

Leni, 19, who is the daughter of Flavio, 73, and model Heidi Klum , has been joined by her boyfriend Aris Rachevsky as they have been spending quality time with her father.

The father and daughter have been photographed looking close as they chatted and laughed together, but their relationship has not always been so solid.

Flavio and Heidi went their separate ways during her pregnancy, and the supermodel began dating singer Seal soon afterwards, before welcoming her first child.

Heidi went on to tie the knot with her now-ex-husband Seal in 2005, and soon after, he adopted Leni. Heidi and Seal eventually split up in 2012.

Flavio has since spoken about how Seal 'raised' Leni and confessed he didn't have a relationship with his daughter, but they now appear to have rebuilt their bond.

As Leni and Flavio enjoy quality time together on holiday, MailOnline looks at how the father and daughter have grown closer after years of estrangement.

Trip: Leni Klum has been enjoying a very luxurious holiday on her billionaire businessman father Flavio Briatore's yacht in recent days, travelling around France and Italy

Absent: But they have not always been on such good terms as Flavio has told how their distance was 'unbridgeable' when he stayed in London (Heidi and Leni are pictured in 2006)

HEIDI AND FLAVIO'S SPLIT

Heidi and Italian Formula One manager Flavio first went public with their relationship in March 2003.

The German-American model announced her pregnancy just months later in December 2003, but while she was expecting, the couple went their separate ways.

While she was still pregnant, Heidi started dating musician Seal and she then welcomed her daughter Leni in May 2004 in New York.

Flavio later told how he was living in London during the early years of Leni's life whereas Heidi was in Los Angeles, describing the distance as 'unbridgeable'. 

Relationship: Heidi and Flavio (pictured in October 2003) started dating March 2003, but they split not long after Heidi announced her pregnancy in December of that same year 

SEAL ADOPTS LENI

Heidi and Seal tied the knot in 2005, and just four years later, Seal adopted his wife and Flavio's daughter Leni.

Leni was officially adopted by Seal when she was five years old, and she changed her name to Helene Samuel - the singer's surname.

Leni now goes by her mother's surname and is known as Leni Olumi Klum in her professional modelling life and on her Instagram page.

Flavio told how they all 'calmly' agreed that it made sense for Seal to adopt Leni so she could 'grow up in a family'.

'The three of us calmly agreed that it made the most sense that he adopt her, because a child needs to grow up in a family,' Flavio told Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera  in 2016.

Heidi and Seal went their separate ways in 2012 and their divorce was finalised two years later.

The couple share three children - Lou, 12, Henry, 16, and Johan, 14 - and Seal has maintained a very close relationship with Leni since their split.

Heidi went on to tie the knot with Tom Kaulitz in 2019. The guitarist was married once before to model Ria Sommerfeld from 2015 until 2018.

Adoption: Heidi and Seal tied the knot in 2005, and just four years later, Seal adopted his wife and Flavio's daughter Leni (Heidi and Leni are pictured in August 2006)

Exes: Heidi and Seal (pictured in January 2010) went their separate ways in 2012 and their divorce was finalised two years later

FLAVIO SAYS NEVER SEES LENI 

Twelve years after Heidi gave birth to Leni, Flavio told how he 'never' sees his daughter and said that makes it 'hard' to miss her. 

Former Renault F1 team manager Flavio, who has a son Nathan with his ex-wife Elisabetta Gregoraci, added: 'Heidi, Seal and I have built an amazing relationship.

'It's hard to miss a baby that you never see. But I know that Leni is not an abandoned child. Leni is part of Seal's family and Nathan is part of mine.'

He went on to explain that he used to speak to his daughter for two hours on the phone each day, but that it 'wasn't enough'.

'Leni was born when Heidi and I had already spilt. Heidi was living in Los Angeles and I was in London, the distance between us was unbridgeable,' he said.

'We used to speak on the phone two hours a day, but it wasn't enough. She needed to stay with her mum.'

While Flavio lived in London, Leni grew up in Los Angeles and graduated from Pacifica Christian High School in 2022.

Distant: Twelve years after Heidi gave birth to Leni, Flavio (pictured with Heidi in September 2003) told how he 'never' sees his daughter and said that makes it 'hard' to miss her

LENI AND SEAL'S CLOSE RELATIONSHIP

Since Heidi and Seal split in 2012, Seal has maintained a very close relationship with his adoptive daughter Leni.

Seal and Leni have attended a number of events together over the years, including the 2022 US Open in New York City.

The pair walked their first-ever red carpet together in 2021, which Seal told ET was 'one of the proudest moments of my life'.

He also spoke on their special 'bond' and how it formed while Heidi was still pregnant with Leni.

'It's everything and it has always been like that, from the day I met her mother,' he explained. '[Heidi] was two weeks pregnant with this beautiful lady.

'We have always had that bond,' the Kiss From A Rose singer said.

Speaking of her relationship with Seal, Leni told how the singer and her mother Heidi both taught her to be herself.

'They have both taught me to be myself, and to do what makes me feel comfortable,' Leni told People last year .

'You can tell if you're not comfortable and then the best of you isn't brought out. I just think you should be open and honest with what makes you comfortable, be yourself, do what you love.' 

Very close: Seal and Leni have attended a number of events together over the years, including the 2022 US Open in New York City

Split: Heidi and Seal went their separate ways in 2012 and their divorce was finalised two years later, but the singer has remained close with Leni (Seal and Leni are pictured in January 2023) 

LENI REUNITES WITH FATHER FLAVIO

Leni reunited with her biological father in August 2018, with reports at the time claiming they had met up in Italy in late July of that year.

TMZ  published photographs of the father and daughter spending time together at the Cala di Volpe hotel in Porto Cervo after years apart.

Heidi and her three other children were reportedly also present, and Leni and Flavio were seen embracing as they appeared to be rebuilding their relationship.

Little is known about their relationship in recent years as they keep things relatively private, but they have been seen together on a number of occasions more recently. 

Fame: In 2020, Heidi opened up about Leni's upbringing (both pictured in 2015) and how she hadn't a 'normal' upbringing due to her global fame as a model

HEIDI SPEAKS ABOUT LENI'S UPBRINGING

In 2020, Heidi opened up about Leni's upbringing and the three different men who have been father figures in her life - Flavio, Seal and Heidi's now-husband Tom.

In a gushing tribute to her daughter on Instagram, Heidi also told how Leni hadn't had the chance for a 'normal' upbringing due to her global fame as a model.

'I know that being my daughter is not always easy. You never had the opportunity to grow up 'normally'. But what is normal?,' a message translated from German to English read.

'Growing up with three different daddies probably won't either, but you have the talent to get the best out of everything.

'And I would say: none of it harmed you - on the contrary: you are a self-confident young woman who fights for her goals.

'And even more important: you are a really great person with your heart in the right place.'

Despite her mother's fame, Heidi kept her daughter Leni mainly out of the public eye throughout her childhood, though she wanted to be a model from the age of 12.

But Heidi turned down many offers on Leni's behalf, including one from Brandy Melville when Leni was around 12 or 13 years old.

'The first offer came when I was only 12 or 13, from a brand I liked to wear: Brandy Melville. At that time I begged my mother, but no chance. Now I understand that it would have been too early,' Leni told Vogue Germany. 

In 2020, Heidi told how she decided that then-16-year-old Leni was 'old enough' to pursue modelling after spending her childhood out of the public eye.

LENI GOES ON HOLIDAY WITH FLAVIO 

Family time: In recent weeks, Leni has been enjoying a holiday with her boyfriend Aris Rachevsky on her billionaire father Flavio's luxury yacht

Reunited: The pair have been photographed looking close as they chatted and spent quality time together on a beach trip in Italy earlier this week

In recent weeks, Leni has been enjoying a sun-soaked holiday with her boyfriend Aris Rachevsky on her billionaire father Flavio's luxury yacht.

She has been seen spending quality time with her father as they have travelled around Italy and France on the lavish vessel.

The pair have been photographed  looking close as they chatted and spent quality time together on a beach trip in Italy earlier this week.

The father and daughter appear to have rebuilt their relationship after years of absence and estrangement, and now sweetly appear to have a close bond.
