Secret $40m deal links Vladimir Putin to Roman Abramovich - BBC Newsnight
Leaked documents reveal a secret $40m deal between former Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich and two men dubbed Vladimir Putin’s “wallets”, a BBC investigation has found.
The billionaire Russian oligarch was sanctioned by the UK and EU council in 2022 for his proximity to the Russian leader and for allegedly profiting from the Kremlin regime.
Mr Abramovich has previously denied any financial relationship with Vladimir Putin, and he has not responded to requests for comment from the BBC.
