chelsea boss Chelsea Boss, Roman Abramovich NOT arrested in New York Says Spokesman

Yesterday, a report came to us that Roman Abramovich was arrested in America. But not so long that His spokesman went against the news that circulated that Chelsea owner ( Roman Abramovich )was arrested. He now said in his words that" Roman Abramovich has NOT been arrested in New York,’ after Russian media report he has been held by FBI.
Roman Abramovich’s agent today denied reports the Russian billionaire had been arrested by U.S. intelligence services.
Speculation was rife online yesterday afternoon that the Chelsea football club owner, 46, had been detained by the FBI in New York.
The claims were initially made by a Russian news website before being circulated on Twitter.
But Mr Abramovich’s Moscow-based agent John Mann said the report was ‘not true’.
‘He is in the U.S., but he has not been arrested or detained,’ he said.
The FBI has also issued a denial.
‘We didn’t arrest him. It’s just not true,’ a spokeswoman said in response to an unsourced report by Russia’s RBK financial news portal.
Mr Abramovich has reportedly docked his $1.5billion (£1bn) yacht Eclipse, the world’s biggest, in New York because his partner Dasha Zhukova is due to give birth to his seventh child.
Evraz shares, which have fallen 45pc over the past year, slid 5 oer cent at one stage in early afternoon trading before clawing back lost ground after the rumour was denied.
Abramovich, 46, is a major shareholder in London-listed steel firm Evraz, whose shares fell by more than 6 per cent before recovering to trade 3.4 per cent down on the day after the denials were issued.
The London-based tycoon, reputed to have close ties to the Kremlin, was brought in late last year to strike a peace deal between the feuding shareholders in Norilsk Nickel, the world’s largest nickel and palladium miner.
