Berezovsky Personally Serves Writ to Abramovich
London’s resident Boris Berezovsky has personally handed in the writ to Roman Abramovich during their accidental meeting in London Hermes at King’s Road, The Daily Mail reported. Spokesmen of Millhouse Capital that manages assets of Roman Abramovich have declined to comment on the incident.
”It was a modern-day clash of the Titans – two of the richest men in the world locking horns in a bitter row over their huge egos and even bigger fortunes,” The Daily Mail reported.
Berezovsky was leaving Dolce & Gabbana when he spotted Abramovich in the Hermes store two doors away. Once business partner of Abramovich, Berezovsky had been trying to serve a writ on him for six months, so he promptly told his bodyguards to bring that writ for 5 billion pounds for another attempt to hand it in.
But when Berezovsky wanted to enter the store, the path was blocked by bodyguards of Abramovich. The scuffle began and the exiled oligarch didn’t miss the chance to confront his enemy in an effort to serve the writ.
The Chelsea owner pulled his hands back and the writ fell to the floor. But under Britain’s laws, the writ is deemed to be served in this situation.
The standoff of two Russia’s oligarchs was witnessed by visitors of Hermes and nearby stores and captured on the shop’s CCTV, enabling Berezovsky’s lawyers to demand footage as evidence.
