A mysterious superyacht docked in Italy has a crew that may include Putin's bodyguards

A mysterious superyacht whose owner has not been publicly named is said to staffed by several members of a Russian state agency tasked with protecting Russian President Vladimir Putin.

On Monday, the investigative journalist Maria Pevchikh and the anti-corruption activist Georgy Alburov — two activists working with the imprisoned Putin opponent Alexei Navalny — posted a video to YouTube about the mysterious superyacht, named the Scheherazade, docked on the coast of Carrara, Italy.

The Scheherazade, one of the largest vessels of its kind in the world, is a superyacht with no public owner, The New York Times reported.
