Nikita Mazepin has £100m assets seized including 25-room villa as Russia sanction continue

Nikita Mazepin’s family villa valued at over £100million has been taken over by authorities as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues. The huge plot, situation on the Italian island of Sardinia, is priced at £118m ($153.8m) and was seized after an impounding order was served.

A spokesperson for the Italian Financial Police told the Daily Mail: “Following verifications on subjects that are part of the current European Union sanctions list, an impounding order was served on Dmitry Mazepin his and his son Nikita Mazepin, a driver with the Formula 1 team Haas until March 5, on a residential complex worth 105 million Euro and traceable to both through an overseas company.”

The house – known as Rocky Ram – was purchased by the family in 2012. It has a whopping 25 rooms with views over the Mediterranean. The villa also comes with a sculpted garden and its own private swimming pool.

An official said the property was in the name of the former Haas star and his father.

The 23-year-old even hinted he would fight the decision and branded the move as “cancel culture”.

He said: “I don’t agree with being in the sanctions. I’ve said previously that I intend to fight it.

“Perhaps now is not the right time because if you look at the whole situation that’s happening against athletes in the general case, it’s cancel culture against my country.” Mazepin added the war made for painful viewing but refused to comment further on the crisis.

He added: “It’s very painful to watch that on many levels. My feeling obviously changed as a human being and as a person who wants to live in a very peaceful world.

“But I see tremendous risks in saying anything at all about this case because I will never satisfy everyone and therefore I will keep myself publicly quiet.”
