LONDON—Eugene Tenenbaum, a Canadian businessman who was recently sanctioned by the U.K. government for his links to Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich, said he doesn’t hold assets on the oligarch’s behalf and that he will now seek clarification from the British government on his sanctioning.
Mr. Tenenbaum is a director at U.K. soccer team Chelsea FC, which Mr. Abramovich is in the process of trying to sell, and has worked with the Russian for over 20 years.
