Cyprus police have opened an investigation into the financial affairs of Roman Abramovich, following questions raised earlier this month about the integrity of some of his professional advisers.
The available information does not specify the precise focus of the inquiry, which advisers are involved or what action, if any, has been taken against them. It also does not set out whether the investigation relates to particular transactions or wider financial arrangements.
The investigation places scrutiny on the financial affairs of the Russian-born businessman and former Chelsea owner. No further details about the police inquiry or its possible consequences have been provided.
The latest known position is that the investigation has been opened by Cyprus police, with further developments dependent on the outcome of their enquiries.
