Italian taxpayers are paying millions to keep seized Russian yachts afloat

اطالوی ٹیکس دہندگان ضبط شدہ روسی یاٹس کو تیرتا رکھنے پر لاکھوں خرچ کر رہے ہیں

इतालवी करदाता ज़ब्त की गई रूसी नौकाओं को तैरता रखने पर लाखों खर्च कर रहे हैं

Italian taxpayers are paying millions to keep seized Russian yachts afloat

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Italy is spending millions of euros of taxpayers’ money to maintain luxury yachts seized from Russian oligarchs under sanctions, a bill that keeps growing the longer the vessels sit idle.
  • The yachts need constant care — crews, fuel, repairs and port fees — or they would deteriorate and lose value.
  • Officials say the costs are unavoidable while the sanctions remain in place, but critics argue ordinary Italians should not be footing the bill for billionaires’ floating palaces.
  • اٹلی پابندیوں کے تحت روسی ارب پتیوں سے ضبط کی گئی پرتعیش یاٹس کی دیکھ بھال پر ٹیکس دہندگان کے لاکھوں یورو خرچ کر رہا ہے، اور یہ بل جتنا عرصہ یہ جہاز بیکار کھڑے رہیں گے اتنا ہی بڑھتا جائے گا۔ ان یاٹس کو مسلسل دیکھ بھال کی ضرورت ہے — عملہ، ایندھن، مرمت اور بندرگاہ کی فیس — ورنہ وہ خراب ہو جائیں گی اور ان کی قیمت گر جائے گی۔ حکام کا کہنا ہے کہ پابندیاں برقرار رہنے تک یہ اخراجات ناگزیر ہیں، لیکن ناقدین کا کہنا ہے کہ عام اطالوی شہریوں کو ارب پتیوں کے تیرتے محلات کا بل نہیں اٹھانا چاہیے۔ اس معاملے نے اس بحث کو دوبارہ جنم دیا ہے کہ آیا ضبط شدہ اثاثے جلد فروخت کیے جائیں یا عوامی استعمال میں لائے جائیں۔
  • इटली प्रतिबंधों के तहत रूसी अरबपतियों से ज़ब्त की गई विलासी नौकाओं के रखरखाव पर करदाताओं के लाखों यूरो खर्च कर रहा है, और यह बिल जितने समय तक ये जहाज़ बेकार खड़े रहेंगे उतना ही बढ़ता जाएगा। इन नौकाओं को लगातार देखभाल की ज़रूरत है — चालक दल, ईंधन, मरम्मत और बंदरगाह शुल्क — वरना वे खराब हो जाएंगी और उनकी कीमत गिर जाएगी। अधिकारियों का कहना है कि प्रतिबंध बने रहने तक ये खर्च अपरिहार्य हैं, लेकिन आलोचकों का कहना है कि आम इतालवी नागरिकों को अरबपतियों के तैरते महलों का बिल नहीं उठाना चाहिए। इस मामले ने इस बहस को फिर से जगा दिया है कि क्या ज़ब्त की गई संपत्तियों को जल्दी बेचा जाए या सार्वजनिक उपयोग में लाया जाए।

Italy is spending millions of euros of taxpayers’ money to maintain luxury yachts seized from Russian oligarchs under sanctions, a bill that keeps growing the longer the vessels sit idle. The yachts need constant care — crews, fuel, repairs and port fees — or they would deteriorate and lose value. Officials say the costs are unavoidable while the sanctions remain in place, but critics argue ordinary Italians should not be footing the bill for billionaires’ floating palaces. The case has reignited debate over whether seized assets should be sold off faster or put to public use.
