tiz happening, it’s not just the oligarchs that have there asserts seized by uk gov.

Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned by the UK Government, freezing his assets and putting the sale of Chelsea on hold.

It comes just days after the billionaire announced he was going to sell the club and donate all net proceeds to the victims of the war in Ukraine.

The sale of the football club, estimated to be worth around £3bn, will now be put on hold as the sanctions take effect.

But Government sources told i Chelsea can apply for a licence to sell the club provided no benefits go to Mr Abramovich.

The new sanctions will impact Chelsea Football Club directly, the Government has said, as it detailed Mr Abramovich’s close associations with the Kremlin.

The punitive measures mean only season ticket holders will be able to go to Chelsea games going forward or people who purchased tickets before 10 March.

Mr Abramovich is one of seven oligarchs targeted by Government in its latest round of UK sanctions.

The Government document detailing the updated list said Russian oligarch Mr Abramovich has had a “close relationship for decades” with the Russian president.

It also suggested Mr Abramovich had been involved in “potentially providing steel to the Russian military” which may have been used to produce tanks.

“Abramovich is or has been involved in destabilising Ukraine and undermining and threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, via Evraz PLC, a steel manufacturing and mining company in which Abramovich has a significant shareholding and over which Abramovich exercises effective control,” it said.

“Evraz PLC is or has been involved in providing financial services, or making available funds, economic resources, goods or technology that could contribute to destabilising Ukraine or undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine – which includes potentially supplying steel to the Russian military which may have been used in the production of tanks.”
