http://n.yam.com/rusnews/international/20120831/20120831768546.html
俄新網RUSNEWS.CN倫敦8月31日電
倫敦最高法院駁回鮑里斯˙別列佐夫斯基就2000年代初出售一系列俄羅斯資產案
件對羅曼˙阿布拉莫維奇的上訴。
別列佐夫斯基表示,阿布拉莫維奇迫使他低價出售了一系列資產,總共要求向其
索要55億美元。法官伊麗莎白˙格魯斯特按程序在今年1月底結束主要聽證會之後休
庭7個月,週五她宣布了自己的判決。別列佐夫斯基當時在法院出席,阿布拉莫維奇
沒有出庭。
在遞交給倫敦最高法院的訴訟狀中,別列佐夫斯基要求阿布拉莫維奇對一系列俄
羅斯公司資產進行賠償,這些資產似乎被低價出售。這里包括約43%西伯利亞石油公
司股份和俄羅斯鋁業公司(Rusal)的份額。別列佐夫斯基表示,他和他的商業伙伴
巴德里·帕塔爾卡齊什維利2000-2003年期間以低於市場的價格出售了這些資產,因
為受到接近阿布拉莫維奇方面的壓力,阿布拉莫維奇威脅稱,如果不同意的話,就會
強行由國家沒收。別列佐夫斯基的索賠總額為55億美元。
英國司法部(Judicial Office)新聞處此前曾表示,週五將公布判決。判決理
由將在未來數週內起草並於秋季公布。

Roman Abramovich wins court battle against Berezovsky
31 August 2012 Last updated at 12:05 GMT
Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich has won his legal battle against exiled
Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky.
Mr Berezovsky, 65, said Mr Abramovich, 45, had intimidated him into
selling shares in Russian oil giant Sibneft. He was claiming £3bn ($4.7bn)
in damages.
But the London Commercial Court judge said Mr Berozovsky had been an
"inherently unreliable" witness. Mr Berezovsky said he was "shocked" at
Mrs Justice Gloster's decision and that she had rewritten Russian history.
The BBC estimates the total legal costs in the case are up to £100m.
In her ruling the judge said: "On my analysis of the entirety of the
evidence, I found Mr Berezovsky an unimpressive, and inherently
unreliable, witness, who regarded truth as a transitory, flexible concept,
which could be moulded to suit his current purposes."
She said she dismissed Mr Berezovsky's claims in relation to Sibneft - and
a claim Mr Abramovich had broken a promise over a deal involving Russian
aluminium company RusAl - "in their entirety".
She also said she found Mr Abramovich "to be a truthful, and on the whole
reliable, witness".
'Political godfather'
Mr Berezovsky, who had told reporters before the verdict that: "I believe
in the system", afterwards said : "I am absolutely amazed by what's
happened today... particularly because Lady Gloster took the
responsibility to rewrite Russian history."
Asked if he felt Russia's President Vladimir Putin would be happy with the
ruling, he replied: "Sometimes I have the impression that Putin himself
wrote this judgment."
He said he did not regret bringing the case against Mr Abramovich and did
not know if he would appeal, adding: "I was absolutely shocked... but
life is life."
The BBC's Moscow correspondent Daniel Sandford said there had been a lot
of interest in the case in Russia as it shed light on the controversial
sale of Russia's mineral wealth by the state to a small group of oligarchs
in the early 1990s.
Mr Abramovich was not in court for the ruling and is thought to be in
Monte Carlo for Chelsea's Super Cup Final on Friday night.
But a statement issued on his behalf said: "There were many serious
allegations made against Mr Abramovich by Mr Berezovsky, including attacks
on Mr Abramovich's honesty and integrity.
"We are pleased that the judge has firmly rejected all such allegations and
has described Mr Abramovich as a truthful and frank witness who showed a
responsible and honest approach when giving evidence in this case."
When he gave evidence, Mr Abramovich had said Mr Berezovsky was paid
millions of pounds for his services as a "political godfather" but was not
a business partner.
The court heard Mr Berezovsky "fled Russia, never to return" in 2000,
after falling out with President Vladimir Putin.
Both men have homes in London, with Mr Abramovich owning a property in
Knightsbridge as well as a 400-acre estate in Fyning, West Sussex.
On his arrival in court on Friday Mr Berezovsky, who now faces a huge
legal bill, had told reporters: "I believe in the system."
'Power broker'
During the three-month trial, the court heard details of the lifestyles of
Russia's super-rich oligarchs.
Mr Berezovsky claimed Mr Abramovich was a "gangster" while Mr Abramovich
responded by saying there were times when Mr Berezovsky was "something of
a megalomaniac".
The hearing was told Mr Abramovich bought a businessman a plane to say
thank you after one deal.
Mr Berezovsky told the court he was born in Moscow, studied mechanics and
mathematics and worked as a designer for Russian state car maker AvtoVAZ
in the 1970s, before going into business in the 1980s.
In the 1990s, following the collapse of communism, Mr Berezovsky embarked
on a political career and Mr Abramovich's lawyers claimed he was a "power
broker" and a "highly controversial figure".
The hearing was told Mr Berezovsky's expenses - including "palaces in
France", "private aircraft", "valuable paintings" and "jewellery for his
girlfriend" - were paid for by Mr Abramovich.
Danny Jowell QC, for Mr Abramovich, told Friday's hearing they were
concerned Mr Berezovsky may have been "disposing of assets in recent
months".
