The allegations lacked evidence and were false, according to a spokesman for Mr. Abramovich.

Roman Abramovich won an apology from a publisher.

A book published byHarperCollins claimed that Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich bought London football club Chelsea on the orders of Russia's President Vladimir Putin.

The company apologized and said it had reached a settlement.

The book has been amended and will make a charitable donation.

Sergei Pugachev, a Russian billionaire, claimed in the book Putin's People that the club was bought by Mr. Abramovich on the orders of Mr Putin.

The publisher said that Ms Belton's book contained some inaccurate information.

The new edition of the book will include a more detailed explanation of Mr. Abramovich's motives for buying the club.

A spokesman for Mr. Abramovich said the allegations were false and that they were pleased with the settlement.

In contrast to the events described in the book, the ambition with the club has always been clear and transparent: to create world-class teams on the pitch and to ensure the club plays a positive role in all of its communities.

Since his takeover, the club has won five times, including last year when they beat Manchester City to win the European Championship.

It was the best or worst first meeting for Tuchel.

Roman Abramovich is from Russia.
There are books.
The man is Vladimir Putin.
