The investment bank Deutsche Bank intends to begin negotiations on the redemption of debt and the acquisition of a controlling stake in Yukos. Everyone who has so far interfered in the “YUKOS case” either left with nothing, or made enemies for themselves in the domestic power structures. But in the wake of friendship between Russia and Germany, Deutsche Bank has a very good chance of acquiring the bankrupt oil giant. Although the solution may be much simpler. According to Kommersant, Gazprom may be Deutsche Bank's most likely client in the negotiations.
