Abramovich Spokesman Denies Reports Of US Arrest

[Charles Ryder]

An odd bit of news doing the rounds concerning Rom, the rumour being that the FBI have detained him.

Only Russian news outlets (rather obscure ones) have reported it thus far, and an Abramovich spokesman has denied it.

A press spokesperson for Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich is denying reports of his arrest, TV Rain reports.

Russia’s RBC TV had reported earlier that oligarch Roman Abramovich had been arrested by the FBI.

Few other details are available at present.

In a statement to the Independent’s Shaun Walker, Abramovich’s spokesman John Mann said that his client was in the US but had not been detained or arrested in any way.

Business Insider reached out the to FBI who would not confirm or deny there was an investigation.

Very odd!
