Roman Abramovich, the former owner of Chelsea Football Club, has suffered a third defeat in his legal battle to have European Union sanctions removed. The EU's General Court dismissed his argument that the bloc was unjustly targeting him due to his high profile. Abramovich contended the EU was attempting to “exploit him on account of his public notoriety,” but the court rejected this claim. These sanctions were imposed following the invasion of Ukraine and are aimed at individuals with ties to the Russian government. This latest ruling indicates the EU remains firm in its stance against Abramovich. The decision, reported by Vanguard News, signifies a continued freeze on his assets within the EU. Abramovich has not commented on the court’s latest decision.
