Vladimir Antonov fled permanently to Britain after his father, Alexander, was gunned down in a Moscow street in 2009. Another associate, German Gorbuntsov, narrowly survived shots in London last March.

He found funds to take over the ailing Swedish car manufacturer Saab, although he did not take control. He did succeed, for a while, in owning the even more ailing Portsmouth football club. Advertisement
