A football agent accused of sending a threatening email to a former Chelsea director has told a court that threatening someone with the “might” of the club’s former owner Roman Abramovich behind them would be a “suicide mission”.
Giving evidence at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday, Alrubie told jurors: “I’m sending an email to a woman who is the right hand of Roman Abramovich, one of the biggest Russian businessmen in the world.“I don’t think I would be stupid enough to be threatening anybody let alone somebody with the might of Roman Abramovich .
Saif Alrubie claimed he played a part in facilitating the transfer of Kurt Zouma in August 2021 from Chelsea to West Ham He denied the suggestion that his “intent” in referencing Mr Joorabchian in the email he sent Ms Granovskaia was to imply that she would be similarly approached.
