F1: Italy seizes properties belonging to Russian racer Mazepin

Italy has seized properties worth some 105 million euros ($114.45 million) owned by former Russian Formula One driver Nikita Dmitrievich Mazepin and his oligarch father, two police sources told Reuters on Monday.

The operation targeted a villa – known as Rocky Ram – located in the north of the island of Sardinia. It is part of broader efforts aimed at penalizing wealthy Russians linked to President Vladimir Putin after the Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine by Moscow.

There was no immediate comment from Mazepin’s PR manager.
