MOSCOW, Oct 5 (PRIME) -- The main shareholder of multi-industry holding Sistema Vladimir Yevtushenkov hopes for a peaceful settlement of a court case against the holding by oil company Rosneft, he told reporters on Thursday.
“Yes, I hope so,” Yevtushenkov said.
He also said that Sistema was making settlement proposals to Rosneft.
Rosneft, the current owner of a controlling stake in oil company Bashneft, filed the suit against Sistema and its unit Sistema-Invest in May, seeking to recover a 170.6 billion ruble loss stemming from an alleged asset stripping at Bashneft by Sistema.
In August, the court satisfied a 136.3 billion ruble part of the suit. Sistema appealed against the decision, after which the negotiations on a peaceful settlement deal with Rosneft were suspended.
