Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, who holds Israeli citizenship, has arrived in Moscow, Reuters reports.
He was seen in a VIP departure lounge at Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport last night, then his private plane stopped in Turkey before continuing to Moscow, but until now it wasn’t certain that he was on board.
Reuters says Abramovich is not in Russia to meet with Putin, citing “a source familiar with the matter.”
Abramovich’s superyacht Solaris is off the coast of Greece. It has been dawdling in the eastern Mediterranean for the past few days.
Much of Europe has sanctioned Russian oligarchs and confiscated assets, but Israel has not followed suit.
