TYCOON THREATENS TO SUE MOSCOW

Published in News Digest

By empty (12/8/2003 issue of the CACI Analyst)

In an interview published in Britain\'s \"Financial Times\" on 5 December, Boris Berezovskii said that he intends to file a $1 billion claim against the Russian government in the British courts and the European Court of Human Rights in connection with Moscow\'s alleged seizure of his media, mining, and oil-sector assets. Berezovskii said that after he began criticizing President Putin, he was forced to sell his stake in major Russian companies, including ORT, TV-6, and Sibneft. Former oligarch Vladimir Gusinskii has filed a similar suit against the Kremlin with the European Court of Human Rights, and Moscow should expect a similar complaint from former Yukos head Khodorkovskii, the newspaper wrote.
