A federal judge has ruled that financial records requested in the ongoing Alfa Nero legal proceedings must be produced, but with strict confidentiality conditions attached.

U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman on Tuesday issued a memo endorsement lifting the stay on subpoenas for the financial documents of individuals connected to the case.

The judge ordered that the materials be disclosed under a protective order, limiting access to attorneys only.

“Upon review of the parties’ letters, the Court concludes that the proper way to balance Applicant’s interest in avoiding unnecessary delay and Movants’ privacy interests is to lift the stay and require production subject to a protective order,” Judge Furman wrote in the order.

The documents will remain under an Attorneys-Eyes-Only designation, preventing disclosure beyond legal teams until further instructions from the court.

Furthermore, should the court later decide to quash the subpoenas, any materials already disclosed must be destroyed.

The judge directed both parties — Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, who filed the opposition, and the movants — to confer and submit a proposed protective order by April 25, 2025.

This latest development is part of the broader legal dispute surrounding the luxury yacht Alfa Nero, which has drawn international attention due to ownership claims, sanctions concerns, and high-profile political entanglements.
