Abramovich Calls Jersey Investigation Baseless and Unlawful
A rich businessman named Roman Abramovich is involved in a legal issue with the place called Jersey.
Jersey started an investigation into him and froze a lot of his money.
But Mr. Abramovich's team says this investigation is not fair and has no reason to be happening.
They say Jersey hasn't even charged him with anything in a long time, which they think shows it's not a real case.
They also say Jersey's government might have done something wrong, like deleting important papers related to the investigation.
Mr. Abramovich's team is now claiming the government in Jersey acted improperly.
Jersey has not commented on these new claims yet.
Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's spokesperson claims a 2022 criminal investigation by Jersey authorities is baseless and unlawful.
Jersey authorities previously identified Abramovich as a suspect and froze $7 billion in assets linked to him in April 2022.
Abramovich's spokesperson stated that no charges have been brought and no progress has been made in the investigation over 3.5 years.
Claims of conspiracy against the Government of Jersey have been introduced, citing data deletion and failure to disclose information.
Forbes estimates Roman Abramovich's net worth at $9.2 billion.
