Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is in the process of selling his London property, Parliament has heard.
MP Chris Bryant, who last week called for the Russian to be banned from owning the Premier League club and to have his home seized, claimed Abramovich is making the move because he is "terrified of being sanctioned".
The Blues owner issued a statement over the weekend detailing plans to hand over "stewardship and care" of Chelsea Football Club to its charitable trust, amid calls for sanctions to be imposed on individuals with ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin.
