Roman Abramovich should no longer be able to own Chelsea Football Club, according to an MP.
Labour former minister Chris Bryant made the demand in the House of Commons as he asked questions about the UK Government’s response to the crisis in Ukraine.
Speaking at business questions, Mr Bryant said: “I have got hold of a leaked document from 2019 from the Home Office which says in relation to Mr Abramovich – ‘As part of HMG’s Russia strategy aimed at targeting illicit finance and malign activity, Abramovich remains of interest to HMG due to his links to the Russian state and his public association with corrupt activity and practices’.
