Billionaire Roman Abramovich stated that he will fight against any attempts by the government of Great Britain to confiscate the assets that were rejected for the sale of the Chelsea football club.

According to the businessman's lawyers, the money from the transaction falls squarely on Abramovich. Lawyers have voiced that even if there was an official move before confiscation, it would be disgraced in court.

Previously, the order of Great Britain had given Abramovich a further order regarding the transfer of assets for the sale of the club to the Ukraine Support Fund. The billionaire was given 90 days to transfer the pennies, otherwise he would face a judicial review. Deputies of the British Parliament advocated the shortening of the term to one month, and then finally confirmed the three-month extension.

In addition, the cash for sale in Chelsea will be deprived of being frozen in the bank account of a special trust.. The document for a special fund for assistance to Ukraine can be signed by Abramovich himself, without confirmation of any assets cannot be sent to the suffering Ukrainians. It was previously reported that the businessman plans to distribute half of his assets to Russians.

Abramovich added Chelsea to 2003 rock. During the hour of its power, the London club won the Champions League and the European League, and also became the champion of England five times.

The businessman put the club up for sale after being subject to sanctions by Great Britain through the military invasion of Russia into Ukraine. In 2022, a consortium with American businessman Todd Boeley will join Chelsea for 4.25 billion pounds (equivalent to 5.25 billion dollars).
