HarperCollins has settled a libel dispute with Russian businessman Roman Abramovich over a book about Vladimir Putin by agreeing to amend certain passages relating to the reasons for buying Chelsea Football Club.
Lawyers for Mr Abramovich had argued in court that the book was defamatory as it claimed he had bought Chelsea FC as a vehicle to corrupt the West — a claim Mr Abramovich denied and has repeatedly cast as false. "We are pleased that HarperCollins and the author have apologised to Mr Abramovich and agreed to amend the book, removing several false claims about him.HarperCollins said it had agreed to amend passages in the book and apologised, along with Belton, for "aspects of the book [that] were not as clear as they would have liked them to have been".
