Was it true the Chelsea owner was/is a Putin cronie?
p.s. How did he "earn" oilwells?

Abramovich and the oligarskys rose somehow from the dust of the collapse of the USSR
in the early 90s. Dodginess on the "earn" methods aside, their wealth and influence seems
to be very much predicated on them not p*ssing off whoever is in power at any given time.

See Boris Berezovsky etc for what happens when an oligarsky does this.

Make no mistake - it is an open secret that Abramovic has had a LOT of people killed. Not just business rivals but journalists, managers of plants and companies that he wishes to intimidate. You don't end up being alive and one of the guys with all the stuff in the wild East unless you're a proper, nasty, psychotic gangster.

It's one of the many, many, many, many reasons to absolutely loathe Chelsea. Their owner, let's get this clear, is a mass-murderer. There is very little doubt about this - I've seen loads of articles (mostly in preperation for addressing Chelsea fans about their puke-fest of a club) that basically say "Yeah - everyone knows he's where he is due to years of violence and loads of dead, innocent people".
 
So from one crook to another.
Trump says he "brilliantly" used the tax laws to avoid paying taxes.
Didn't they get Al Capone for not paying taxes?

Why didn't he just have maureen knocked off then? It would have been far cheaper than sacking him. Except of course if he wanted him to go to ManUre.

Bloody loads of paperwork to get someone killed in Britain, isn't it? Nah. He'll just kill a few more back home to raise the extra couple of million if he needs to (he doesn't).

Plus Mourinho's already dead inside. Costs extra to have dead people killed. Niche market.

Not really, just have the Metropolitan Police pay them a visit and nature will take its course.

What about those awkward times when you want a white person killed? It really does get a bit annoying dealing with some of these details. Plus the met are likely to lose your polonium or a police officer put it in their mouth even though you specifically told them not to.

They'd likely have emptied four or five rounds into their head before checking, based on their approach to Brazilian electricians reading Metro while sat on the tube.
 
Someday soon a professional speechwriter will meet with their peers over drinks, and during their conversation they will mention they were responsible for writing Theresa May’s speech from the Tory conference where she smeared Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party just to get to the punchline of calling them “The Nasty Party”

A few seconds later, they will probably be trying to work out why they had several drinks hurled in their face…
