Here’s another interesting tid-bit regarding the former Russian Oligarchs trying to take down Putin....the main character, the former ‘oil’ giant whose ex-owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky was imprisoned by Putin when he took down ‘The Family” of oligarchs...who are suing Putin in the courts now.
...”Russia said it would appeal the ruling by.... the Dutch-based panel,....( now that’s interesting).... which judges private business disputes. It also said the “politically biased decision” was based on “current events” - an apparent reference to Moscow’s dispute with the West over Ukraine”.
The ruling hit back at decisions made under President Vladimir Putin’s rule during his first term as president to nationalise Yukos and jail Khodorkovsky, who had criticised him. The hardline approach was seen by Kremlin critics at the time as a stark message to oligarchs to stay out of politics.
Khodorkovsky, who used to be Russia’s richest man, was arrested at gunpoint in 2003 and convicted of theft and tax evasion in 2005. Yukos, once worth $40 billion, was broken up and nationalised, with most assets handed to Rosneft, an energy giant run by an ally of Putin.
After 10 years in jail, Putin pardoned Khodorkovsky in December and he now lives in Switzerland.
(Khodorkovsky is out for blood, no doubt working with Soros and the other Ukrainian Oligarchs)
