Roman Abramovich was the UK’s most famous oligarch, the Russian billionaire who helped Chelsea Football Club win the Champions League. New evidence from an offshore data leak suggests his business empire was built on lies.

Reporter Richard Bilton investigates Roman Abramovich’s suspect paperwork and the big accountancy firm which signed off his misleading accounts.
