‘Rare Fabergé egg worth millions’ among treasures seized on Russian Oligarch's luxury superyacht | The Sun
A RARE Fabergé egg worth millions of pounds has been discovered on a Russian Oligarch’s luxury superyacht which has been seized by US officials.
US deputy attorney general Lisa Monaco has revealed that a yacht seized in Fiji and recently delivered to San Diego turned out to have a special surprise on board.
One of the more “interesting finds” discovered by her team was a jewelled egg.
Speaking at the Aspen security forum on Wednesday she said: “Let’s get to the juicy stuff: the yachts,”
“We’ve been finding some really interesting things … we recovered a Fabergé – or alleged Fabergé egg – on one of these [yachts] so it just gets more and more interesting.”
Ms Monaco did not specify which yacht – but it is thought she was referring to the £300million Amadea.

She continued: “We’re working with our law enforcement counterparts around the world to conduct searches on these yachts to make sure we have the authority and can go to a court, seize them and then forfeit the proceeds,.
If the jewelled egg was deemed to be authentic it would make it one of the few remaining in the world.
The price of some Fabergé eggs has been in excess of £18million.
Faberge was founded by German jeweller, Gustav Faberge in St Petersburg in Russia in the 19th century.
