Posted March 25, 201311 yr I've put this in rumours for now but there are reports coming out of America that Roman Abramovich has been arrested in the US. Does anyone have any further detail?
March 25, 201311 yr Author Link of the breaking news in case anyone thinks I'm pulling their plonker....... http://inagist.com/all/316180543513432065/
March 25, 201311 yr I can find only Twittery type comments - but an awful lot of them! Will hold my belief till I find something more reliable! P.S. yes Geezer has posted the twittery comments I was talking about. Edited March 25, 201311 yr by moi
March 25, 201311 yr An article which denies it. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/450041/20130325/roman-abramovich-boris-beresovsky.htm
March 25, 201311 yr Just saw another tweet saying that his spokesman has denied it. And a brilliant one saying he was charged with the crime of bringing Torres to Chelsea.
March 25, 201311 yr FBI refusing to comment this now! Romans spokesman is deniying it for now though but its all over the news. Oh dear
March 25, 201311 yr On a serious note though, detained is a far cry from arrested/charged. With all the business dealings he had with Berovsky (probably got that wrong) it would be logical for the police to at least investigate that avenue to some extent. I greatly doubt it but if by some chance RA had had him killed then I for one would rather see him punished than remain in control of the club.
March 25, 201311 yr There are more legitimate sources that deny it than confirm it so until there's concrete confirmation it's idiot journalists spreading twitter rumours.
March 25, 201311 yr Author Seems the news was broken by a news agency which is very close to Putin. Strange, very strange but if Putin has got it in for Roman then Roman had better watch his back (and what he consumes) VERY closely.
March 25, 201311 yr Telegraph Sport â€@TelegraphSport 1m Reports of Roman Abramovich being arrested by FBI have now been denied by his spokesman, Chelsea and the FBI...
March 25, 201311 yr It's balderdash, all reports are unconfirmed and will probably stay that way, knowing the power he wields.
March 25, 201311 yr Personally, I would have preferred 'BOLLOCKS' to 'NOT TRUE'. That's probably why I'll never get a job as a billionaire's press spokesman! Edited March 25, 201311 yr by Lofty 1905
March 25, 201311 yr "f**king shameful, you people need to sort your own lives out before spreading this kind of bollocks." Yeah, I'd be an even worse spokesman than Lofty.
March 25, 201311 yr Author The reporter who broke the news went by the surname of Benitezov...........................................only kidding!
March 25, 201311 yr David Schneider â€@davidschneider 14mRoman Abramovich has indeed been arrested and has some significant charges to answer according to FBI spokesman Roberto di Matteo
March 25, 201311 yr Just saw another tweet saying that his spokesman has denied it. And a brilliant one saying he was charged with the crime of bringing Torres to Chelsea. more like denying a contract to Lamps
March 25, 201311 yr If they hit him with unfair dismissal he won't have a leg to stand on, they could also arrest Benitez for impersonating a Football Manager.
March 25, 201311 yr Headline was also on Bloomberg with no story and then denied, Surely the FBI would let there 'porns' at MI6 take the lead in this investigation anyway taking all likely scenario's into the equation and we all know the conspiracy theories. Especially with any potential crime being on British soil. Unless of course Roman was indeed on the grassy knoll that day.
March 25, 201311 yr The stories are obviously untrue.....The headlines by the FBI should have read........ROMAN BUYS USA
March 25, 201311 yr Saw something about share prices falling as a result of this. Sneaky Russians trying to get back their Cyprus money by manipulating the stock market?
