9th March 2024 | Hong Kong
British Crown Dependency & offshore financial centre financial regulator Jersey (Financial Services Commission) has reported a data breach with some names & addresses accessed on 23rd January 2024. The initial review identified the leak is due to misconfiguration by 3rd-party registry system. In 2022 November, British crown dependency & tax haven Jersey apologised to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich for conducting unlawful search on his properties in Jersey in April 2022 following imposed sanctions on him (after Russia military operations in Ukraine), and has agreed to pay damages & costs for the unlawful search and to destroy documents. In April 2022, search warrants were granted to search properties belonging to Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich, and documents & devices were seized by the Jersey Economic Crime & Confiscation Unit (ECCUU). Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich filed a complaint and challenged the searches by Jersey Police, citing the police force had insufficient level of evidence to warrant the search. After the sanction was imposed, Roman Abramovich was forced to sell English premier league football club Chelsea for around £4.25 billion. In total, Jersey is reported to have frozen around $7 billion (£6 billion) of assets belonging to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. More info below.

Jersey is a small island in the English Channel located in the Bay of St Malo, between United Kingdom & France. Jersey is a British crown dependency. The United Kingdom is Jersey’s closest international partner. Constitutionally, Jersey is classified as a Crown Dependency, since the Island’s relationship stems from the sovereignty of the British Crown, as opposed to the UK Parliament or HM Government. In practice, this gives the Island constitutional rights of self government and judicial independence. Jersey is not part of the UK and is not represented in the UK Parliament. By charter and convention, the UK Parliament does not legislate for the Island without consent. However, the UK Government, on behalf of the Crown, does retain formal responsibility for the Island’s defence and, to some extent, its foreign affairs.
