Blue Eyes, (Yacht Market Editor: she is a 2009 CRN yacht) a 60m (197ft) motoryacht belonging to the boss of an Italian optician chain, is being held as officials look into suspected unpaid duty on fuel. Reports in the Italian press suggest that the suspected tax evasion could be worth millions of euros.
