Moscow sees it as a victory in a battle against former Yukos owner, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who earlier claimed that the Russian government deliberately undermined his company with tax demands and eventually took control over it.

FORMER TREASURY SECRETARIES WARN AGAINST BREXIT

A group of former White House advisors are warning Britain not to leave the European Union.

Eight former US Treasury Secretaries have written in the Times newspaper, saying a BREXIT would threaten London's pre-eminence as a financial capital.

They also suggest Britain will find it difficult to negotiate trade deals outside the EU.

It comes with US President Barack Obama due to visit the UK for talks on Friday with Prime Minister David Cameron at which he is expected to give his view on Britain's place in Europe.

Political reporter Theo Usherwood says campaigners who want Britain to vote to quit the EU in June are angry at US intervention.
