Ukrainian Pravda journalist Mykhailo Tkach has reported that Metalist owner Oleksandr Yaroslavsky has British citizenship.
"Oligarch Aleksandr Yaroslavsky has British citizenship. At least, he is listed as a British citizen in the British registers.
We also managed to find a building in the centre of London on Wilton Crescent that belongs to Yaroslavsky's company. The five-storey apartment next door to the house of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and Gennady Bogolyubov's ex-wife Sofia was purchased for almost £55 million in 2013.
The Kaiser yacht, which the oligarch promised to sell to help Kharkiv residents, is still not being sold for 50 million euros. Yaroslavsky and his family spent most of the summer on it," Tkach wrote on his Facebook page.
