Squatters have occupied a London mansion thought to belong to one of the Russian oligarchs sanctioned by the British government.
Public records show the mansion was originally purchased and is currently held by Ravellot Limited, an offshore company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands,People protesting the invasion of Ukraine occupy a mansion, reportedly owned by members of billionaire Oleg Deripaska's family, in London, U.K., on Monday, March 14, 2022. The group plan to remain in the property until the war is over and all of the refugees have been housed, one of the protesters said.
"We can confirm that the NCA has secured two Account Freezing Orders in respect of five bank accounts held by Mr Graham Bonham-Carter," the NCA said in a statement shared with CNBC. The British government on Thursday put Deripaska, founder of metals and hydropower company EN+ and six other businesses, on a growing list of Putin allies sanctioned by authorities. The sanctions state that his assets will be seized and travel restricted.
The protesters reportedly called for the seven-bedroom mansion, which houses a Turkish bath and home cinema, to be made available to Ukrainian refugees.
