Jersey's Legal Battle with a Russian Tycoon
JerseyMon Nov 17 2025
A wealthy Russian businessman, Roman Abramovich, is in a legal fight with the government of Jersey. His team says the investigation started in 2022 is unfair and has not made any progress. They claim that the government has not provided enough evidence or made any charges against Abramovich.
The government of Jersey froze assets worth $7 billion linked to Abramovich. They said he was involved in a criminal case. But Abramovich's team says no charges have been filed in over three years. They also say the government deleted important data related to the case.
Abramovich's team is now accusing the Jersey government of conspiracy. They say the government failed to share all the information they had about Abramovich. The government of Jersey has not responded to these claims yet.
Abramovich is a well-known businessman. He made a lot of money after the Soviet Union broke up in 1991. He is also a citizen of Israel. His net worth is estimated to be around $9. 2 billion.
This legal battle raises questions about how governments handle investigations against powerful individuals. It also shows the complexity of international legal cases involving wealthy businesspeople.
