Why was Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich punished?

Let's turn to punishment now we know that we the UK EU has responded to this sanctions attack against the Russian oligarchs well the latest move by the UK government to punish the owner of Chelsea football team Roman Abramovich.

Whose property will be frozen including Chelsea but the club will be allowed to continue playing we will look at that for a moment.

But first, let's just remind ourselves of the background of this hero Abramovic is a Russian millionaire his wealth since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

A time when new Russian companies were taking over state property like all the oligarchs, especially those who were rich in the 1990s had to deal with Vladimir Putin now Mr. Abramovich denies having a close relationship with Vladimir Putin but the UK government has described him as a person.

 The pro-kremlin oligarch associated with Mr. Putin Mr. Abramovic has had a close relationship with him for decades the UK government added that it has received financial benefits from that Association how much.

I am determined to spend money thinking that depends on how well we play and how determined we are to win if I see that we need to buy any particular player to get the results.

We want I will just spend a lot of money and he has done that. Abramovic has borrowed a billion and a half pounds Chelsea and the club have become one of the most successful clubs in Europe last week.

 Abramovic said he had made a difficult decision to sell Chelsea, which came after calls to punish him in parliament for the one and a half billion dollars he said he would sell

Do not ask for any loans to be repaid and add that all proceeds from the sale will be donated for the benefit of all the victims of the Ukrainian war.

So now that Mr. Abramovich's property has been suspended let's take a look at how the sanctions affect Chelsea and its sale of a special license issued by the government so that Chelsea can continue to play.

 Its games Chelsea are banned from selling more tickets and selling merchandise and buying and selling players and a government source told the Times that Mr. Abramovic would not receive.

A penny for the sale of the team and his colleague laura Scott explained more yes so under the terms of this special license the government has a license. the problem is, in fact, allowing the club to continue operating while trying to beat Abramovic said.

The club could not comply with the sanctions fixing season ticket holders and other ticket holders are still possible going to the games.

The players and staff can continue to be paid and all they can do is spend the money to go back and run home games like this Sunday.

 But what is clear is that they do not want Abramovich to profit or gain from the club in any way so that means they cannot sell extra tickets. able to buy or sell players.

While Abramovic is under sanctions. clothing store closed we talked to some fans here who were the last ones in the club store to buy their t-shirts and anyway.

 This affects the meaning of the sale of the suspended club currently under the terms of this license but we understand that the government is open to considering new licenses that will enable them to be sold but only if it can be guaranteed that no money will come out of Roman Abramovich.
