## Summary

Russell Brand transferred £8.7 million from his television and stand-up company in 2025, according to a report, while maintaining his innocence. The article says the move could limit funds available to people bringing civil claims against him after his conviction for rape and sexual assault.

Brand was found guilty of one rape and three sexual assaults, but not guilty of two other rape charges and attempted indecent assault. He faces civil claims in the UK and US, and US prosecutors may also consider criminal action; further allegations are under investigation. He is due to be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on Monday, with the judge warning him to expect a significant jail term.
