April 23, 2021 — Today, the Advocate-General of The Netherlands advised the Dutch Supreme Court to dismiss the Russian Federation’s cassation appeal in its entirety and to uphold the 2020 Court of Appeal ruling which reinstated the Arbitral Awards in favour of the former Yukos majority shareholders. The Awards order Russia to compensate the shareholders for the unlawful expropriation of their investment. The compensation amounts to more than $50billion, a measure of the company’s success before it was destroyed.
