How Russia’s ‘richest’ lawmaker used his partner’s secret companies to own two yachts and a Seychelles villa
Paradise Papers reveal how billionaire Andrei Skoch financed the acquisition of luxury assets including a yacht now targeted by U.S. sanctions, while offshore law firm Appleby disregarded his alleged ties to Russian criminal groups.
The $156 million, 324-foot yacht “Madame Gu” has an enclosed helicopter hangar, a gym and a beach club. It sports a Cayman Islands flag on the stern. And, at night, the hull lights up in bright blue or red.
The massive yacht’s last reported position was in the Persian Gulf, but that was three months ago, before the transponder was turned off and the vessel disappeared, according to a website that tracks marine traffic.
Why might a yacht want to keep its location secret? In the case of the “Madame Gu,” the likely answer can be found in a recent announcement by the U.S. government, and in a set of leaked files from an offshore law firm that powered Paradise Papers , a 2017 investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
The U.S. Treasury Department said last week that it had designated the vessel, along with a helicopter housed on it and a private plane, as “blocked property,” due to links to twice-sanctioned Russian billionaire and politician Andrei Skoch. The restrictive measure bars U.S. entities from conducting any business with the yacht.
The order, which also named yachts and assets owned by other Russian elites, is intended to “degrade the key networks” they used to hide and move money around the globe, the Treasury Department said.
Skoch, whom Western media have dubbed the “richest man in the Duma,” has been a member of Russia’s national parliament since 1999.
The Paradise Papers, a trove of more than 13 million financial records leaked from offshore law firm Appleby and other sources, show that Skoch financed the acquisition of two yachts and a villa owned by his romantic partner, Elena Likhach, through a web of shell companies. In doing so, he joined a host of other Russian oligarchs — and power brokers worldwide — who control properties, boats and other luxury assets through a trusted proxy, often a relative or close friend.

OFFSHORE SECRECY
Pandora papers shed light on $1.4 billion russian sanctions mystery, mar 22, 2022.
The documents show, too, the willingness of middlemen and enablers to please wealthy clients who want to keep secret their ties to valuable assets.
In 2013, an Appleby compliance officer warned two of her managers about Likhach’s association with Skoch, citing press reports linking the lawmaker to “criminal groups.”
“I believe the client appears to be one of the bad [politically exposed persons] which definitely pose a very high risk,” the officer wrote.
The managers dismissed her concerns. “I don’t see a problem with the business,” one manager wrote.
Appleby is one of the many elite firms that have provided services to powerful Russians despite their known links to the Kremlin. Other firms include American law firm Baker McKenzie and accounting giant PwC, ICIJ has previously reported.
Appleby and Skoch did not reply to ICIJ’s requests for comment.
‘Gifts’ from a billionaire
Confidential emails and ledgers show that Likhach became an Appleby client in 2007, when the firm helped her set up a Cayman Islands company with the purpose of owning a smaller yacht, worth $57 million, named “Gu”and later renamed “Lady Gulya.”
The yacht was sold in 2018, according to boating news sites, which did not provide details of the deal.
In 2012, Likhach hired Appleby to set up other shell companies : One, based in the Cayman Islands, bought “Madame Gu,” the luxury yacht identified by the U.S. government, for $277 million. Another shell, based in Jersey, managed the payroll for a 35-member crew.
Likhach also used two Seychelles shell companies to buy a villa in the island nation’s Four Seasons Resortand employ a chef and two housekeepers who were paid a monthly $6,300 salary, records show.
The request to create the Seychelles companies prompted Appleby compliance officers to examine the Russian client’s background as part of a routine due-diligence process required by law.
They described Likhach as a politically-exposed client because of her partner’s government position.
In an internal memo, a compliance officer wrote that “gifts” from Skoch, “with whom she has children but is not married,” were also the source of funds for Likhach’s offshore activities.
The officer also noted in the memo that the Swiss lawyer representing Likhach said he “would not be able to write” the politician’s name in any document or email related to the offshore companies.
“It is possible that Elena is only holding the Company on behalf of Andrei Skoch,” the officer concluded.
Skoch made his fortune, now valued by Forbes magazine at about $6 billion, in mining, holding an indirect interest in a metal company owned by Alisher Usmanov, a sanctioned oligarch close to Putin.
Likhach’s lawyer, Stephan Arnet, confirmed that his firm provides legal services “with respect to her assets” but didn’t elaborate on the details, citing attorney-client privilege. Arnet told ICIJ in an email that the law firm is subject to Swiss anti-money laundering regulations and that “the sources of wealth of Ms. Elena Likhach are verified, among the others, by other reputable financial institutions.”
“We neither know nor represent Mr. Andrei Skoch and never did so,” Arnet added.
In 2017, ICIJ’s Paradise Papers investigation exposed secret offshore deals of politicians and fraudsters and revealed how Appleby sometimes failed to keep out questionable clients . The investigation was based on leaked documents obtained by German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and shared with ICIJ.
Appleby did not provide ICIJ with answers to detailed questions at the time. Instead, it released a media statement online that said the firm is committed to high standards and rejected any allegations of wrongdoing by the company or its clients.
The U.S. sanctioned Skoch for the first time in 2018, alleging he had “longstanding ties to Russian organized criminal groups,” which he has denied.
After Russia invaded Ukraine in February, the U.S. sanctioned him again along with dozens of other politicians, businessmen and companies allegedly connected with the Kremlin. The European Union, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, where Likhach’s attorney resides, added most members of the Duma to the lists of sanctioned individuals.
Likhach, who is listed as a housewife in the leaked files, has not been sanctioned.
Up Close With the Madame Gu
By . Kate Kelly Dec. 1, 2022

In late October, I flew to Dubai to report on the Madame Gu , a 324-foot superyacht that maritime records suggested had been moored there for months, despite having turned off its radio signal in March. There was good reason to place it under the radar: It was linked to a sanctioned Russian oligarch, Andrei Skoch.
Here’s what I saw →
During the trip, I stayed on the Queen Elizabeth 2 , the famous trans-Atlantic cruise ship that is now a floating hotel. In addition to its historical curiosities, the ship had the benefit of being anchored right near the Madame Gu at the Mina Rashid Marina, a bustling commercial port in Dubai.
Any evidence that the Madame Gu’s maintenance is being paid for in U.S. dollars could help the United States make a legal case to seize the ship. One international service provider — the British company Aggreko, whose generator set was powering the ship at the time — made me curious.
One morning I spent an hour observing the vessel. Stationed next to other superyachts — two of which are also linked to prominent Russians — the Madame Gu shone in the sun. Scaffolding affixed to its port side and two figures I spotted walking the deck suggested it was being well maintained.
Some services, including security, were being handled by P&O Marinas , a division of the DP World, which is owned by Dubai’s royal family. (DP World later told us they comply with local and national laws in the U.A.E. Aggreko’s generator set was removed after The Times reached out to the company.)
There was one salient absence from the Madame Gu: a country flag. Unlike the superyachts around it, the shiny blue ship had no flag flying from its stern, suggesting something we later confirmed: that the ship is currently stateless, meaning its movements are extremely limited.

Specifications
The MADAME GU yacht has quite an impressive speed despite its massive size. Her fastest speed is around 4.87 knots above average, while her cruising speed surpasses the average by about 0.59 knots.
This great speed is thanks to the MTU that powers MADAME GU. It costs around $15 million to run the ship on an annual basis.
The superyacht measures 99 meters long and can host up to 12 guests and 36 crew members in her 30 cabins.
MADAME GU also has a E urocopter Dauphin AS 365N3 , an incredible tender with a price tag of about $9 million.
Designed by Winch Design, the MADAME GU yacht has a unique and gorgeous exterior style. The hull is a beautiful shade of blue, and the long bow gives her a special charm.
When night comes around, there are multi-colored lights on the ship below the waterline, making MADAME GU stand out with its bold, bright color show.

Madame Gu was the largest superyacht to emerge from the Netherlands at the time of her delivery. Having since been overtaken, this 99 metre superyacht nonetheless remains one of the most distinctive vessels on the water thanks to world class styling by De Voogt Naval Architects and Winch Design alongside expert construction by Feadship.
Sleek, powerful and extremely detailed, this 2013 launch has since travelled the oceans and made her mark on the world’s marinas. Her interior was also styled by Winch Design, running through the vast open spaces on board provided by the 14.85m (48’9”) beam.
Madame Gu is able to accommodate 12 guests in 6 cabins, and features an innovative automated hidden helicopter hangar on the bow. Feadship CEO Dick van Lent told Superyachts.com about tackling a worthy challenge.
"Like with most of our boats, every project brings challenges. Certainly with [Madame Gu] we had a couple of challenges," noted the CEO at the 2014 Top 100. "It was spectacular in design so there were lots of design features to work out [...] that’s why people come to us. We like challenges, we like to do innovation and bring your product forward and try to stay ahead of everybody else."

Feadship’s largest yacht at the time of launch
Feadship approached Manson Anchors with their biggest project to date. They had designed M/Y Madame Gu, a 99m motor yacht that was to be the largest Feadship yacht at the time of launch. She was also the largest superyacht to ever be built in the Netherlands.
One of the most unique features of this particular yacht was the long and slender blue hull; it was important the anchors complemented this feature. The designer Andrew Winch said, “Madame Gu’s speed, size, technical complexity and levels of exterior and interior detailing make her a record breaker and brave obliterator of industry conventions, taking motor yacht design to new territories.”
With the long hull and bow being a feature of the yacht, the designers wanted to ensure this was not disrupted by the anchors and deployment systems. Feadship had not used a hiding anchor pocket configuration before but knew Manson were known for their capabilities in this area and it would be the best solution.
Manson Anchors fabricated two 1195kg Manson Hiding Anchors from 316L Stainless Steel.
The Manson Hiding Anchor has inward tapered flukes that allow for the base plate to sit wider than the fluke tips, this design enables the anchor to sit flush to the hull.
Madame Gu’s anchors were glass bead blasted and the base plate was mirror polished by the Manson Anchors polishing team.
The Hiding Anchors were Lloyd’s Register Type Approved as High Holding Power (HHP), meeting the requirements of the yacht.
The large anchors were delivered to the Feadship Makkum facility on time and installed by Feadship crew. The Manson Hiding Anchors fitted the pre-constructed pockets perfectly and the base plate sat flush against the hull.
M/Y Madame Gu was awarded ‘Motor Yacht of the Year’ at the 2014 World Superyacht Awards along with ‘Best Displacement Motor Yacht 2000GT and above’.
