Roman Abramovich now faces the prospect of having £3.2billion of UK assets frozen.
The billionaire Russian oligarch, who according to The Sunday Times Rich List is worth a staggering £10.2billion, has been hit by sanctions from the UK government.
Abramovich was identified by the Home Office in 2019 as having links to the Russian state as well as to "corrupt activity and practices", but he has denied direct links to Vladimir Putin as their relationship comes under scrutiny in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
