This is a non-story. Everyone knows he made his billions selling uranium-enriched rubber ducks to Iran (very popular there - they glow in the dark - so useful when power cuts occur) .
So the real question is will the Chavs go to the dogs? If RA cant get into the UK will he spend money on new players?
Do you know if Abravovich was added to the US Sanction list recently, I know there was talk of it, but i don't know if it happened?
I’m sure they’re just rattling his cage, mate. As you say, tracing whether he obtained his wealth illegally or not in 1990’s Russia is gonna be next to impossible to do. Especially as Putin is hardly likely to cooperate. In short, he’s a crook. Everybody knows it, but proving enough to deny him a visa might be very difficult.
I doubt it. Any US imposed sanctions are irrelevant to us unless we’ve agreed to officially duplicate them. The oligarchs are virtually all mates of Putin, this is about making them feel uncomfortable imo, the reason the likes of Abramovich came here and bought a British institution i.e. a football club, was more about his desire to seek legitimacy more than his love of football.
They'll let him in eventually. This is just some @brb type jobsworth in Boris' dept playing Charlie Big Potatoes. Eventually he'll be taken off the "case", and the red carpet will be rolled out once again for Roman and his money.
You embarrassed yourself this morning, by demonstrating your lack of knowledge...'I know people in the City' classic one liner, your best yet
