The Treasury’s sanctions police have been reviewing the finances of property investor and Everton Football Club owner Farhad Moshiri.
Moshiri appears to have become a person of interest to the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation because of his links to Alisher Usmanov, the Russian-Uzbek billionaire who was sanctioned by the UK, the EU and the US after last year’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Sunday Times’ 2023 Rich List estimated Moshiri is worth about £1.6bn. Aside from Everton, Moshiri is listed as the owner of UK property valued at more than £100m, including Liverpool’s Royal Liver Building and a series of luxury homes in north London.
