Federal prosecutors were investigating claims by Bouvier not only by Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev, and his other former clients.

Leonardo da Vinci. The same the latter-day Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece — "Salvator Mundi" ("the Saviour of the world"), is also passed through the hands of Yves Bouvier.
