The planes are not in the United States, and this bid for confiscation is the latest in a series of sanctions against Russian billionaires in response to Russia's attack on Ukraine, CNBC reports.
The planes linked to Abramovich are Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner and the Gulfstream G650 ER, according to documents delivered to the U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

Boeing, which according to the court's data totals $350m, is currently located in Dubai and according to judicial documents, Gulf Stream is located in Russia.
