BUT if this leads to significant punishment down the line, it will taint Abramovich’s legacy as owner.

Only if it leads to titles being stripped or something. A few 10s of millions in total going to some agents here and then isn't going to do much.

What I am curious about it is why they did so in the first place. The amounts are too little to go through all this trouble. I'm more inclined to think that his finances were such a complicated web that every now and then, money went out from the "wrong" shell companies or they simply missed it when reporting it later because it was so complicated.
