Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich arrested in the USA?

A Russian global news channel (RBC TV) is reporting the billionaire businessman and owner of Chelsea football club has been detained in the USA by the FBI and it does not have anything to do with him buying Fernando Torres for 50 million British pounds as he is being taunted on Twitter. A press spokesperson for Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich howver is denying reports of his arrest. The FBI could however not confirm or deny his arrest.

Roman Abramovich, the billionaire business tycoon who owns London's Chelsea Football Club, has been in the news in the past few days after the sudden death of a rival UK-based oligarch, Boris Berezovsky. Abramovich had recently beat Berezovsky, once his business partner and mentor, in one of the costliest legal cases in UK history. Berezovsky's death is not being treated as suspicious at this time. Shares of Russian steelmaker Evraz tanked the arrest report. Abramovich is a major shareholder in the company.
