'Take Chelsea FC from Roman Abramovich': Commons is shown bombshell leaked documents accusing billionaire of links to Russian corruption and paying for political influence - as Labour demands his assets and £152m home are seized

Roman Abramovich faced calls to be stripped of his right to own a football club today after bombshell documents linked him to Vladimir Putin's regime and 'public association with corrupt activity and practices'.

The billionaire Chelsea owner has faced renewed focus on his business activities in recent days as Russia prepared and then launched an all-out attack on Ukraine.

And today Labour MP Chris Bryant used parliamentary privilege to share a leaked Home Office document in the Commons.

He said the document was from 2019, and questioned why no action had yet been taken against the 55-year-old based on its warnings.
