but in february 22, everything changed for roman abramovich. it was unprovoked, this is what russian president vladimir putin threw at ukraine. abramovich, associated with putin, who is conducting a barbaric and disgusting attack on the people. in march 2022, the government of great britain and the european union imposed sanctions on abramovich, froze assets and prohibited travel. it was argued that he supported putin's regime and had profits from it. but abramovich denied this and in every possible way rejected serious financial ties with putin. so, can we say that this case is an example of rough justice, or that this oligarch became a victim of the system. in search of an answer, we went from london to cyprus, talked to politicians, it is like sorting onions on the ball, financial experts, it is difficult for me to believe in an innocent transaction, former kremlin insiders when he went to government premises, everyone stood up and anti-corruption fighters. oligarchs should not use cyprus to support putin's dirty wars. our trip began with an

but it all came crashing down for roman abramovich in february 2022. kraine. abramovich has links to putin, who is mounting a barbaric and evil attack against the people of ukraine. abramovich was sanctioned in march 2022 by the uk government and the eu council. his assets frozen, banned from travelling. the justification — that he had supported and profited from putin's regime. but abramovich said that it's unfair, that he had no significant financial connection to putin. so was this a case of rough justice? was the oligarch wronged? to find out, we've been on a journey from london to cyprus. speaking to politicians... it's almost like peeling back layers of an onion. ..financial experts... i find it hard to believe that this is an innocent transaction. ..former kremlin insiders... when he came into government. offices, like, everybody stood up. ..and anti—corruption campaigners. cyprus cannot be used by oligarchs to support to support the dirty wars of putin. the journey started with some leaked documents from the international consortium of investiga
