A stunning superyacht that was owned by Mikhail Lesin – a former Vladimir Putin adviser who died under mysterious circumstances – has sold for tens of millions of pounds.
The 55-metre (180ft) vessel, Serenity, was built for Lesin, founder of the Kremlin-funded broadcaster RT and Putin’s one-time chief propagandist, in 2011 and was in limbo while his assets were arranged following his death.
Serenity had an asking price of €37million (£29million, $42million) when it went on the market around three months ago and has been delivered to its new owner, who paid an undisclosed price.

Lesin, a 57-year-old millionaire and Russia’s former press minister, was found dead in a Washington, DC, hotel room last November, with an autopsy revealing he died of blunt force injuries. The investigation into his death continues.
At the time of his death his superyacht, launched in 2011, was being overhauled at a shipyard in Brisbane, Australia.
Last February, Serenity was put up for sale and made the 11,000-mile journey to the Palm Beach International Boat Show once Lesin’s assets were sorted, Yacht Harbour reported.
The sale was handled by Florida-based brokerage firm IYC.
Dimitri Semenikhin, founder of Yacht Harbour, told MailOnline Travel: 'It's unclear what was the final price the yacht sold for. However, as it was a quick sale, it is likely that the final price was lower than the asking price which was set near replacement cost.'
Lesin's superyacht remained at a shipyard in Brisbane, Australia, for a few months following his death until his assets were sorted
