Abramovich plane nears Moscow after scenic tour of Caucasus

A Gulfstream Jet belonging to Russian-Israeli-Portoguese billionaire Roman Abramovich is set to land in Moscow in the coming moments, after leaving Israel for Turkey and then the Russian capital on Monday.

The plane reaches Moscow after taking a circuitous route to avoid both southeastern Ukraine, where there is heavy fighting, and the north Caucasus, instead flying through Georgia, Azerbaijan, the Caspian sea, Kazakhstan and finally Russia.

It is not know if Abramovich is on the plane, which arrived in Israel on Sunday. Abramovich was photographed in Israel Monday before leaving for Turkey as Jerusalem agreed to block sanctioned Russians from hiding their assets in Israel.
