Security forces detained a 58-year-old man and his son on a sailing yacht flying the Ukrainian flag.

He was handed over to the Migration Department because his residence permit had expired.

The man was detained by security forces at the request of Interpol.

The Russian received Turkish citizenship in 2021. He was stripped of it two years later due to being placed on the wanted list.

During a search of the ship, the police confiscated 7 thousand euros, 5 thousand dollars, 200 Thai baht, and Russian and Turkish passports.
