Chelsea Football Club,Abramovich,Funding

The project raises questions for the UK’s Chelsea Football Club over how Abramovich, its onetime owner, funded the club’s success. The leaked documents, mainly from financial services companies based in EU member state Cyprus, show the extent of that country’s dealings with hugely wealthy Russian business figures and people close to the Kremlin. Among the documents are financial accounts for 2018 for two companies based in the British Virgin Islands that were owned by a Cypriot trust the beneficiary of which was Mr Abramovich.
