Abramovich: Jet linked to oligarch lands in Moscow

A private jet linked to sanctioned billionaire Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich has landed in Moscow.

The jet arrived in Moscow on Tuesday morning after taking off from Israel and stopping in Istanbul, flight tracking website FlightRadar24 said.

Mr Abramovich was seen in a VIP lounge at the airport in Israel, though it is not known if he boarded the flight.

The Russian was among seven oligarchs sanctioned by the UK government last week in response to the Ukraine war.

Mr Abramovich, 55, is alleged to have strong ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, which he has denied.
