Roman Abramovich is looking to quickly sell its properties in UK to avoid the repercussions of sanctions, should it be affected. This is what the Labor MP argued Chris Bryantaccording to what he writes The Guardianand collateral confirmations coming from Swiss with the billionaire Hansjorg Wysswho claimed to have “received an offer to buy Chelsea”, the club of Premier League owned by the Russian oligarch. Abramovich, who in recent days has been involved at the invitation of Kiev and with the side of the Jewish community in the negotiations of peace, has not yet been hit by the sanctions of UK for the war of Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.
In Bryant’s view, the British government is moving too slowly towards those who have ties to Puti: “I think Abramovich has the terror to be sanctioned, which is why tomorrow he will sell his house and sell another one as well apartment. My anxiety is that we are spending too much time on these things, ”she explained. The British Minister of the Interior responded to her fears, Priti Patelguaranteeing a “faster” squeeze through sanctions also imposed on those oligarchs not yet directly affected by the measures introduced. Bryant focused his fears in particular with respect to Abramovich and Alisher Usmanovindustrialist and sponsor ofEverton through its companies.
Usmanov, underlined the Labor MP, has “already been sanctioned by the EU but not yet by the United Kingdom”, while referring to Abramovich said he would be “terrified” by the risk of incurring punitive measures and to prevent them he thinks about selling his own property a London. Indirect confirmation of Bryant’s fears came from Switzerland, where billionaire Wyss confirmed in an interview with the newspaper view: “Me and three other people on Tuesday received a ‘offer to purchase Chelsea from Abramovich – said the Swiss businessman – I have to wait four to five days now. Abramovich is asking too much at the moment. To date, we don’t know the exact selling price. If I were to acquire Chelsea then I would do it with a consortium composed of 6-7 investors “.
After the invasion of Ukraine by the Russians, Abramovich took a step backwards on Saturday, leaving the country presidency of the club by entrusting the management to the administrators of the club’s charitable foundation, an operation which it raised criticisms in the UK. The Swiss billionaire, founder of the medical device company Synthes Usa, admitted that he will look into the details of a possible deal to buy Chelsea. The asking price could be around 2 billion pounds, 2.6 billion dollars. “Abramovich is trying to sell all of his town in England, he also wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly, ”Wyss added to the Swiss newspaper.
