Moscow Court Attempts to Seize New York Apartment

A court in Moscow ordered that proceedings be instituted to seize a New York apartment of Boris Berezovsky, a fugitive Russian “oligarch,” now residing in London. The seizure was ordered in connection with new criminal charges against Berezovsky. In 2003, before obtaining political asylum in the UK, Berezovsky informed the UK police that Russian secret agents had arrived in London to murder him, which Russian investigators allege was a “knowingly false denunciation.” Berezovsky’s attorneys assert they were not notified of the hearings, and Berezovsky denies owning a New York apartment.
