It is the dream of all sailors, one of the most beautiful and admired sailing boat classes in the world. The “Poseidon 2”, a Solaris 58, flying the Panamanian flag but owned by a Chilean entrepreneur, was seized in the port of Cagliari by officials of the Customs Office and the military of the Guardia di Finanza Naval Station on charges of aggravated smuggling for having exceeded the 18-month period allowed by law to operate in the territory of the European Union .

The rule, designed to prevent boats from being purchased elsewhere without paying taxes and then used in European countries, has triggered the seizure ordered by the public prosecutor, which now has to be confirmed by a judge.
