The former Russian billionaire owner of Rose d'Ore was detained by authorities and then interrogated at a Montenegrin airport.
Russian billionaire Konstantin Ivanovich Strukov was detained in Montenegro due to sanctions. He was questioned at Tivat airport but allowed to leave the country, facing a ban on re-entry. Strukov is known for owning the luxury yacht Rose d'Ore, which was linked to Hungarian businessman Lőrinc Mészáros. His wealth, estimated at $1.9 billion, was largely nationalized in 2025 amid corruption allegations. Strukov is listed in sanctions databases of multiple countries, including the US and EU, and is involved in significant real estate investments in Montenegro. The EU has recently expanded its sanctions list, targeting numerous Russian entities and individuals.
