Russian oligarchs’ UK homes could be seized and used to house Ukrainian refugees

The UK government could seize mansions from Russian oligarchs in London and use them to house Ukrainian refugees, the deputy prime minister has said.

 

Dominic Raab was asked whether the British government could confiscate property owned by oligarchs with Kremlin links as part of the sanctions process against Russia.

 

Raab supported the idea of seizing Russian property and repurposing it to house those fleeing conflict.

 

He said the government would legislate to stop “lawfare”, where kleptocrats use the courts to try to stop journalists reporting on how they obtained their wealth. Raab said that the government would offer proposals “very shortly” to stop oligarchs hiring expensive law firms to protect their fortunes.
