He is a business man, in 1995 Putin wasn't the president then.
Most of these happened during Boris Yeltin. Ibrahamovic and Boris Berezovsky were part of his inner circle. They got state assets for cheap and became billionaires overnight. All these was corroborated by Ibrahamovic himself when Boris sued him after fleeing Putin in the UK.

How did Brits ground Manchester United? Manchester United's owners the Glazer Family are Americans. It was actually when Manchester United was under British ownership that it was very successful. Ignorance is an active curse on the members of this forum.

How else do you think most Russian oligarchs made their money?
There was absolute chaos in 1990-ies in Russia, no proper bookkeeping, no one could tell for sure what was where and how much. To put it more precisely, almost no one. Those who did and had good connections simply stole billions.

Some of them took over the existing infrastructure built during Soviet times practically for free. Some of this infrastructure were ports, oil terminals, railroads and so on.
Back then In Soviet Union all companies were state owned. When Russia turned to democracy all those companies were sold to certain people for extremely cheap prices and so in a blink of an eye they became oligarhs.
Most are fantastically corrupt individuals.

Edit:some are already disturbing me about Russia being a communist country/practicing communism.
There is a difference between democracy and communism which is an economic system.

Democracy is primarily a political system while communism is primarily an economic system. Democracy and communism can exist together, in exclusion of one another, or neither may exist.

Nothing about modern Russia is communist. It is not a classless society where all property is communally-owned. It is a capitalist society wherein people own private property, businesses make profits, and workers are paid wages.

Russia is technically a democracy because its leaders are elected, but it's very flawed democracy as elections are rigged and opposition is stifled.
Simple please understand that.

The same UK government are still shielding Alison Madueke Diezani from prosecution. Double standard. UK government and individuals are more corrupt than Roman Success Abrahamovic. I smell witch-hunt and an attempt to invade Abrahamovic assets. Say no to the west and their cheap propaganda.

In your case, it was not corruption but smart business (I'm actually envious...)

But in the case of Abramovic it was corruption because the sale of the state owned asset to him was not a transparent process. It was rigged in his favour by his corrupt friends who are in government. Had it been an open auction he may never have bought those assets at such give away prices.

Firstly, he is a marked man. As the most prominent Russian billionaire in the world, they have to take him down because they can't get anywhere near Putin because Putin is too powerful for them.

Secondly, if you invest money earned from corruption into the UK economy, you are giving the UK government an invitation to poke it's nose into your financial affairs. That's why Ibori, Diezani etc got into trouble with the British legal system.

The OP clearly stated that he was being protected by then President, Boris Yeltsin and remained a close ally to the Krelmlin when Putin came into power on 2000.
I also agree that this was business and particular persons in political office back in Russia, profited from the deal still.
What I dont understand is why BBC is making a fuss now as Abramovich has been a steady investor in the UK for over 17yrs. Chelsea FC being just one of his many UK successful investments.

Now this is what I say of the west.
They have this devilish tendency to force you do their bidding. And these same people some people want to trust
They are LIARS.the most corrupt people on earth are in the US and Europe.
When you keep your money there, they find all excuses to make sure the, ground that money into their economy.
This is why I don't believe ANYTHING they say. I don't and would NEVER blame Russia for seeking protection
Re: Roman Abramovich: New Evidence Highlights Corrupt Deals by tonididdy(m): 9:16am On Mar 15, 2022
Na xo
So the UK left it's shores to help Russia investigate russia


Fraudulent or not, that's Russia case to handle.
It's the glutton UK govt who accepted Abramovich money that was as white as snow then but now suddenly dirty money.



Misplaced priorities.

Re: Roman Abramovich: New Evidence Highlights Corrupt Deals by djseanjohn77: 9:52am On Mar 15, 2022
So, UK govt and BBC that abhors those stolen money and later sanction the owner only to keep possession of the wealth and assets nko? what are they doing too? I guess corruption is what the West calls it. Nigeria looted wealth are still in their possession till date. Chelsea that's stolen from Abramovich now, will they return the money to Russian people? NO. The UK are more thieves than all the people they accuse. Simple.

Someone bought a company at auction, whether he bribes his way to win it or not -it's part of lobbying that every businessman does to win contracts and auctions.

Atiku is still working high and will probably still contest for the government after evidence has it that he sold Nigeria assets at a cheaper price to himself through a 3rd party..........

No billionaire in the world became a billionaire without buying something fraudulently or smartly, that includes all billionaires all over the world, even UK and US (glorified theieves)
