阿布否認要求償還貸款、臨時提高要價 - 切爾西足球俱樂部 Chelsea Football Club

https://bit.ly/38WOLW7

懶人包:

1.會把俱樂部收益捐出去，已經找了聯合國、大型慈善機構的人員來負責這筆款項。

2.從來沒有要求過償還貸款，最後一刻提高要價也是錯誤報導。

3.貸款在阿布被制裁的時候就被凍結了，需要額外批准，這些資金也將用於慈善捐款。


Following speculation in media in relation to the sale of Chelsea FC, we
would like to clarify the following points...

Firstly, Mr Abramovich’s intentions in relation to gifting the proceeds from
the Chelsea sale to charity have not changed.

Since the initial announcement, Mr Abramovich’s team has identified senior
representatives from UN bodies and large global charitable organizations who
have been tasked with forming a Foundation and setting out a plan for its
activities. The lead independent expert has had conversations with Government
representatives presenting the structure and initial plans.

Mr Abramovich has not been involved in this work and it has been managed
independently by experts with years of experience working in humanitarian
organizations.

Secondly, Mr Abramovich has not asked for any loan to be repaid to him –
such suggestions are entirely false – as are suggestions that Mr Abramovich
increased the price of the Club last minute. As part of Mr Abramovich’s
objective to find a good custodian for Chelsea FC, he has however encouraged
each bidder throughout this process to commit investing in the Club –
including in the Academy, Women’s team, necessary redevelopment of the
stadium as well as maintaining the work of Chelsea Foundation.

Following sanctions and other restrictions imposed on Mr Abramovich by the UK
since announcing that the Club would be sold, the loan has also become
subject to EU sanctions, requiring additional approvals. That means that the
funds will be frozen and subject to a legal procedure governed by
authorities. These funds are still earmarked for the Foundation. The
Government are aware of these restrictions as well as the legal implications.

To be clear, Mr Abramovich has no access or control of these funds and will
not have any access or control of these funds following the sale. Despite the
changing circumstances since his initial announcement – he remains committed
to finding a good custodian for Chelsea FC and making sure the proceeds go to
good causes.
