A yacht known as the Uforia is being put up for auction after it was linked to people smuggling activity involving asylum seekers trying to reach the UK. Reporting identifies Ukrainian nationals Vladyslav Cherniavskyi, 37, and Oleksandr Yavtushenko, 43, as being connected to the scheme, which came to light in July last year. The Daily Mail says the vessel was advertised as offering a “premium” service, with a claimed fee of £13,500 per person, aimed at people seeking to enter the UK. The coverage also describes the case as involving a broader plot associated with the yacht, though details beyond the individuals named and the pricing claim are limited in the provided excerpts. The reports state that the auction listing is being publicised so the yacht could be sold to a new owner. Overall, the articles connect the vessel to suspected smuggling operations and indicate authorities have moved forward with steps that include disposing of the asset through auction.
