Connection With Roman Abramovich and Boris Berezovsky
According to The Times, Roman Abramovich submitted a 53-page court defence that accused Boris Berezovsky and Badri Patarkatsishvili of demanding huge sums for helping him to rise from obscurity. Arkady “Badri” Patarkatsishvili, emerges as the key intermediary, passing messages between Abramovich and Berezovsky. Mr Patarkatsishvili was offered $500 million by Roman Abramovich, the defence papers that were submitted admit, for protecting Roman in Russia's aluminium wars.
The Times reported that Boris Berezovsky is fighting Badri's widow for £3bn or half of Badri's fortune, after full one year of Badri's mysterious death last year, reportedly caused by heart-failure. It states: "The day after his death, Berezovsky asked Gudavadze to sign a statement acknowledging that half her husband’s assets belonged to him. The widow, who is represented by Lord Goldsmith, the former attorney-general, signed but has since changed her mind and sought to have the document annulled. "
