Under Roman Abramovich, the club made payments to offshore companies or families outside the books.
Chelsea FC was hit yesterday with 74 charges of breaches of regulation by the Football Association in England, regarding investments from third parties, intermediaries and player regulations. They happened between 2009 and 2022, the years where the club was owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.
Abramovich’s ownership brought unprecedented sporting triumphs for Chelsea, with five Premier League titles, five FA Cups, two Champions League titles in 2012 and 2021 and two Europa League titles in 2013 and 2019.
