Amsterdam court backs Khodorkovsky

Jalied Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsy is in line for a $650m (€506m) payout after a Dutch court ruled in favour of his holding company in the latest of a series of lawsuits involving bankrupt Russian oil group Yukos.

An Amsterdam court has backed a claim by Moravel Investments, a company linked to Mikhail Khodorkovsky's GML holding vehicle, that it was a creditor of Yukos and therefore entitled to receive some of the money from the sale of the firm's non-Russian assets.
