Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and six other Russian oligarchs were on Thursday accused of having blood “on their hands” as they became the latest tycoons to be sanctioned for links to Vladimir Putin’s regime.
The billionaire businessman, who has owned the Premier League club since 2003, was one of seven more oligarchs to be targeted by Britain in what the Government said was a “£15 billion sanctions hit”, with his assets frozen and a UK travel ban imposed.
