Around £2.5 billion from the sale of Chelsea FC is sitting in Roman Abramovich's bank account rather than supporting victims of the Ukraine war, an MP claimed today.
The government came under fire for "taking so long" to sort out the cash transfer after the club's former owner was sanctioned following Russia's invasion.
Oligarch Mr Abramovich put the Premier League side up for sale in March, shortly before he was sanctioned over links to Russian President Vladimir Putin - when Liz Truss said he had blood on his hands for being "complicit".
