OTTAWA – The federal government says it plans to target a Russian oligarch using a law to confiscate and divert assets held by people who have been sanctioned.
Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says Canada will try to seize and forfeit US$26 million, or about C$36 million, from a firm owned by Roman Abramovich.
Abramovich is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and the former owner of Chelsea Football Club in England.
