Thursday newspaper round-up: Russian oligarchs, Amazon, Tui
(Sharecast News) - The UK-based Russian billionaire oligarchs Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven have had their shares in the $22bn (£17bn) conglomerate LetterOne, which owns Holland & Barrett, "frozen", days after they were hit with EU sanctions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. LetterOne, which is just under 50% owned by Fridman and Aven, announced on Wednesday night that the men had "ceased to have any involvement with the company" and that it had frozen their shares. - Guardian Angry dockers have vowed not to unload cargoes of Russian oil and gas, as it emerged that shipments were en route to British ports because of an apparent loophole in a government ban and could even be used to heat UK homes. The government imposed a ban on Russian vessels docking in the UK on Tuesday, in response to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine. - Guardian
