Roman Abramovich admits paying out billions on political favours
Roman Abramovich, the owner of the Chelsea Football Club, has admitted to paying billions of dollars for political favours and protection fees to get his hands on the former Soviet Union's mineral wealth.
Russian entrepreneur and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich said on Monday that nobody protected his business in 1990s; therefore he refuted one of his defense lines in the hearing of Boris Berezovsky's $ 5.5 billion lawsuit, the Russian Legal Information Agency reported.
