Roman Abramovich’s two superyachts sail beyond of reach of sanctions as he ‘lands in Moscow’ after escaping his Israel property
According to reports, ROMAN ABRAMOVICH has arrived in Moscow after fleeing his villa in Israel.
Two of the shattered billionaire’s superyachts have sailed sail to avoid penalties imposed on him by the European Union, which claims he has “special access” to Vladimir Putin
Brussels, like the United Kingdom, imposed sanctions on oligarchs who back Putin, including Abramovich.
The jet, which has been connected to the Russian-Israeli millionaire, then flew to Moscow, where it arrived around 3 a.m. Tuesday.
Flightradar24 and the Russian Oligarch Jets Twitter account both tracked the aircraft’s path.
According to MarineTraffic, Abramovich’s two superyachts, the £430 million My Solaris and the £1 billion Eclipse, may be on their way to Turkey to evade seizure.
My Solaris, which has its own helipad and missile detection system, has departed Montenegro and is now cruising the Adriatic between Italy and Greece.
After sailing from the Caribbean, Eclipse is now making its journey through the Mediterranean near Algeria.
Yesterday, the Chelsea Football Club owner was observed looking dishevelled in Israel’s Ben Gurion airport, moments before his flight to Istanbul took off.
The Chelsea owner was photographed alone in the airport’s VIP area, with a face mask pulled down over his chin.
And his luxurious Gulfstream G650ER plane, LX-Ray, landed in Turkey just after 3 p.m. on Monday before continuing his journey.
Abramovich, who also has Israeli and Portuguese citizenship, was one of seven Russian billionaires sanctioned by the UK last week.
According to Politico, the EU has now followed suit, stating that Abramovich has “special access” to Vladimir Putin.
According to reports, these “extremely excellent contacts” let him fill his own pockets in companies that provided the Kremlin with a “significant stream of cash,” allowing Moscow to pay its invasion of Ukraine.
The move is part of an effort to isolate Putin in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
According to Israel’s Foreign Minister, Yair Lapid, the country’s financial, banking, and aviation authorities are investigating the presence of Russian oligarchs in the country.
“Israel will not be a means to evade sanctions placed on Russia by the United States and other Western countries,” Putin said during a visit to Slovakia, which borders Ukraine.
Abramovich, who has denied having strong links to Putin, obtained Israeli citizenship in 2018, swiftly establishing himself as one of Israel’s top three wealthiest individuals.
According to CNBC, the UK has detained a private plane linked to the Russian businessman at Farnborough Airport.
He has had £3.2 billion in UK assets blocked by the British authorities as a result of his suspected strong links to Putin, preventing him from selling his part in Chelsea.
According to Forbes, Abramovich is worth £10.4 billion and owns a £150 million Kensington home, a £33 million West London penthouse, and boats, private aircraft, helicopters, and supercars totaling more than £1.2 billion.
