Financial records appear to show shipments of laptops, mobile phones and microchips have been repeatedly sent from a business registered at the unassuming property in Enfield, North London, since Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine began last year.
Merlion is owned by three Russian oligarchs who appear in Forbes’ list of 200 wealthiest Russians with a combined net worth of £1.6 billion. Two of them have been sanctioned by Ukraine for ‘material or financial support’ for the war.
They show that a large volume of high-end microchips, telecoms equipment and servers, which have the potential to support Russian infrastructure, have been shipped through other countries, largely China, avoiding sanctions.
The media watchdog went on: “We take seriously the importance, in our democratic society, of a broadcaster’s right to freedom of expression and the audience’s right to receive information and ideas without undue interference.
The point here is about the price of fish and the effort it takes to catch one. A mackerel isn’t so tough — you can pull in five at a time on a multi-hook line off most British beaches. But a shark? You have to go further afield.
When it came to his favourite location in New Zealand, Shainblum said it was tough to pick one but Milford Sound – a fiord in the southwest of the South Island – made a big impression with its ‘striking cliffs’ and ‘pouring’ 1,000ft waterfalls
What they must not do is sit by idly and let it go away, as seemingly happened when this newspaper brought them the extraordinary claims in 2020 of a farmer who alleged he had been bribed into giving Tyson Fury a boar-based alibi for doping a few years earlier.
Struggles: In the clip, Kourtney claimed that her attempts to conceive a baby via IVF ‘put her into menopause’, while also causing weight gain that saw her flooded with ‘rude’ comments from social media users pointing out her changing body shape
But what would a similar timeline mean if they were weighing the case of someone active? Someone like Benn. This is when we look to UKAD again and with the added question of whether they are fit for purpose, because that is what they must prove.
They were sanctioned a week apart last month and there was no great risk of a killer bite if the cases took a wrong turn — to go by the estimates from an agent in that area, the average second-tier player might earn £30,000 a year.
If we look at the sanctioning list on their website, it shows 39 athletes currently serving a ban. Of them, 12 play rugby league. They are guys like Rob Oakley, who played a few games math for 3th grade London Broncos in the second tier. And Russell Spiers, Midlands Hurricanes.
Third tier.
That might just about work with a retired fighter. And no doubt Khan can live with it, especially as my understanding is he has not been asked to pay back his purse, which is not the obligatory process it would be in sensible sports.
And Dean Wells was grabbing attention for another reason on Saturday, as he surrounded himself with twerking ladies at a party held by tobacco tycoon Travers ‘Candyman’ Beynon at the Candyshop mansion in Queensland.
Did he have a favourite location? Shainblum said it was tough to pick one, but that Milford Sound – a fiord in the southwest of the South Island – made a big impression with its ‘striking cliffs’ and ‘pouring’ 1,000ft waterfalls.

IVF is usually used by women or couples who are struggling to conceive naturally, and it involves the retrieval of eggs from the ovaries, which are then fertilized by sperm in a lab, before being transferred into the uterus.
I believe I was 39. Top notch, top tier. I think it gave me a feeling of, like, taking a deep breath. You know I was 39 and I was about to turn 40 and everyone was like, “If you’re going to do it, you’ve gotta do it now.”
That is what makes Khan’s two-year ban quite interesting, because he earned about £5million on the night of February 19, 2022, when he lost to Kell Brook and then gave a post-fight sample that was positive for ostarine.
Pay of that scale makes Khan a shark. Just like Conor Benn is a shark, which we will revisit shortly. You lose to a shark and the damage can be severe, especially when you have a budget of £11m a year to cover all sports and sharks have expensive lawyers.
The shock wasn’t because a prominent fighter had been found with drugs in his system — that is common enough. It’s what we’ve come to expect from a sport that doesn’t give much of a damn. But the progression from finding to sanction and the testing agency that administered it?
That was less typical.
