ROME (Reuters) - Italian police have seized a yacht owned by Alexey Mordashov, the richest man in Russia before being blacklisted this week by the European Union following Moscow's attack on Ukraine, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said on Friday.

The 65-metre (215-ft) "Lady M" was impounded in the northern Italian port of Imperia, the source said.
