A legal battle between Roman Abramovich and the UK Government over funds from his sale of Chelsea Football Club could be impacted by a Jersey investigation into whether the money constitutes "proceeds of crime".
Accounts for Fordstam Limited, the company through which Abramovich owned Chelsea, reveal that a loan to Fordstam from another Abramovich entity, Camberley International Investments Ltd, is under scrutiny by authorities on the Channel Island. This investigation, the accounts state, could potentially include proceeds from the club’s sale.
