Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is being sanctioned, Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries has announced.
The Chelsea owner has been added to the UK’s sanctions list a week after he put the club up for sale to distance himself from his asset in the wake of Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine.
Abramovich has owned Chelsea since 2003 and has always staunchly denied any current political links to Russia’s ruling elite, but Boris Johnson’s Government has now frozen all his UK assets.
