Roman Abramovich's decision to sell Chelsea soccer club has sparked a flurry of interest - despite him being subject to an asset freeze. U.S. businessmen are said to be eyeing the club.
Jets and yachts owned or chartered by the seven elite individuals, including Roman Abramovich who is worth about £9.4billion, can be seized, the UK's sanctions stated.
Abramovich is worth 10.4bn ($12.5bn), according to Forbes, and owns a £150m Kensington mansion, a £22m West London penthouse, and more than £1.2bn of yachts.
Labour's Chris Bryant, using parliamentary privilege to avoid legal action, alleged the tycoon is selling his London home and an apartment because he is 'terrified of being sanctioned'.
In a surprise development just after 6pm, Abramovich broke his silence to confirm he is in the process of selling Chelsea FC - with proceeds of the sale to be donated to the victims of war in Ukraine.
