Berezovsky offered the London court another multi -billion dollar lawsuit

In October of this year, the London court will begin to consider the new claim of Russian entrepreneur Boris Berezovsky - this time to the family of his late business partner, Georgian businessman Badri Patarkatsishvili. Berezovsky demands to reimburse him for $ 3 billion, the newspaper The Times reports, which at the disposal of which got the case file.

It is expected that the trial will last six months. "The oligarch filed a lawsuit against the Patarkatsishvili family, claiming that he has the right to own half a large-scale business empire of the Georgian magnate, which extends from Central Asia to South America and includes a share of participation in industrial projects, commercial property and media companies," ITAR-TASS quotes the publication.

According to Berezovsky’s statements, after leaving Russia, he transferred his assets of Patarkatsishvili, with which he had an unofficial one, that is, not recorded in any documents, an agreement on the further separation of commercial responsibility, and hence the ownership of the assets and the separation of profit from the functioning of this business empire in the ratio of 50 to 50.

According to the lawyer Berezovsky Mark Gastings, the plaintiff’s assets were eventually recorded in the name of Patarkatsishvili so that they would not become objects of persecution by Russian justice.

Relatives of Badri assure that any agreements between Berezovsky and Patarkatsishvili "were unofficial, were not subjects of English law and were not provided for the spread of their action on all their entrepreneurial activity."

The requirements put forward by Berezovsky to the family of Patarkatsishvili, who died in 2008, are largely identical to his statements in the case against the Russian entrepreneur Roman Abramovich. According to the plaintiff, Abramovich forced him to sell the shares of Sibneft at a price below the market.

Times believes that the reason for the activation of Berezovsky in the courts may be material difficulties. Although the newspaper admits that it is extremely difficult to assess the material prosperity of the native of Russia.
