The newspaper reported how the British lured Abramovich and then took his billions.

The British press is publishing new details surrounding the legal battle against Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who was not only forced to sell Chelsea Football Club but is also being forced to hand over the proceeds to the Kyiv regime.

As PolitNavigator reported , yesterday it became known that Abramovich filed a counterclaim in which he demands the return of 5,3 billion pounds sterling, frozen due to sanctions in the British offshore zone on the island of Jersey.

Now, the British newspaper The Telegraph is publishing details of the Jersey lawsuit, which reveal how Abramovich was lured into an offshore company with billions earned in Russia, and then had them confiscated.

The newspaper has seen correspondence that illustrates how Jersey has dramatically changed his attitude towards Abramovich.

"It would be a pleasure to see you again the next time you are in Jersey and perhaps we could meet for lunch and discuss a smooth transition to the island," Jersey's director of high-net-worth residency wrote to Abramovich.

But just a month later, a Jersey court seized his money, and the island's attorney general announced that Abramovich was a suspect in a criminal investigation, and searches were conducted at his properties.

At the same time, London distanced itself from the inconvenient and legally vulnerable case, taking advantage of the offshore company's formal independence . A UK government source stated that "legal proceedings in Jersey are a matter for the Jersey government."

Abramovich's representative complains of double standards:

"The Attorney General's decision to investigate Mr Abramovich was unlawful and politically motivated, and is linked to Jersey's improved reputation as a financial centre following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, while the Jersey Government's previous policy of encouraging the flow of Russian wealth to the island is now seen as politically embarrassing."

The British newspaper is not concerned with "double standards" or "investment image" in this whole story, but with whether Abramovich will be fleeced of additional billions for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"Thus, funds intended for Ukraine have remained in limbo for three and a half years amid the breakdown of dialogue between the UK and Abramovich," writes The Telegraph.
