We decided to explain to the press service of Roman Abramovich about the information that appeared last week that he was transferring the proceeds from the sale of the Chelsea football club in the amount of about $ 2,8 billion to the Ukraine aid fund. Recall that earlier the British government “allowed” the oligarch to sell his financial football asset.
The press service of the "Russian" oligarch states that Abramovich "does not have access to the funds from the sale of the English football club."
From the report:
Roman Abramovich has nothing to do with the further distribution of this money. He previously stated that he would like the proceeds from the sale of Chelsea to be transferred to a charitable foundation to meet the needs of the victims of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on both sides. And it was only about humanitarian aid.
It is further stated that after the sale of the club, the funds were not on the account of the businessman, but at the disposal of the British government. And it is the British Cabinet, according to the press service of the oligarch, that today makes decisions regarding where this money will go.
Thus, Abramovich argues that if his money is sent exclusively to Ukraine, then this is “not his decision, but the decision of the British authorities.”
