The owner of Chelsea, the Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich, was included in the list of British sanctions against Russia.
The Russian oligarch, who has been active in Britain for two decades, is one of those people whose assets are “frozen” in the context of British sanctions against Russia.

Abramovich, Britain’s most notorious Russian oligarch, took over at Chelsea in 2003 and has said he will sell the club, with “net proceeds” going to the victims of the war in Ukraine.
The government has said that Chelsea will be constantly monitored.
In addition to Abramovich, the list also includes Russian oligarchs. Igor Setsin, Oleg Deripaska and Dmitry Lebedev.
Deripaska owns shares in the En + Group, Setsin is the CEO of Rosneft and Lebedev is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bank Rossiya.
