Premier league investigates Chelsea over financial breaches during Abramovich era
It appears that the much is still left to deal with as far as the era of the Russian billionaire, Roman Abramovich is concerned as Chelsea owner.
According to sky sports, The Premier League is currently investigating Chelsea for potential financial rule breaches during the Abramovich’s ownership of the club.
Abramovich took over Chelsea in 2003 for £140m with the club winning and left in a controversial circumstance in 2022 due to the fallouts of the Russia-Ukraine war.
Over the period of his ownership, his investment resulted in five Premier League titles, five FA Cups, three League Cups, two Champions Leagues, two Europa Leagues, two Community Shields and one UEFA Super Cup.
Only on July 28, UEFA announced they had fined Chelsea €10m (£8.6m) for “submitting incomplete financial information” between 2012 and 2019.
Chelsea’s new owners led by Tod Boehly had earlier reported their own club to UEFA and the Premier League after their takeover last summer.
At present, Chelsea have not been charged with anything by the Premier League. If they were found guilty of rule breaches, sanctions could include a fine or a points deduction.
