US court rejects claim of ex-Yukos shareholders against Russia
The US Court of Appeal rejected the claim of the ex-shareholders of Yukos against Russia for $ 50 billion Yukos to Russia for $ 50 billion. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the court ruling. It is clarified that the court granted the petition of the defendant in the person of Russia and rejected the petition of the ex-shareholders to review the decision of the lower court regarding the payment of compensation. “The petition was granted, the case was closed,” the ruling says. Earlier, Russia asked a court in the US District of Columbia not to reopen the case on payment of compensation to former Yukos shareholders until the proceedings in the Netherlands were completed. Thus, Moscow, in response to a petition to reopen the process, noted that the suspension of proceedings in this case is appropriate and fully justified, since further proceedings may be fruitless if
