Europe court: Russia violated rights of Yukos
None
Russia's government violated the rights of the now-defunct oil behemoth Yukos, the European Court of Human Rights ruled Tuesday, but added it was not ready to rule on a claim for nearly $100 billion in damages.
Russian authorities were unfair in meting out punishment to the company over tax violations and didn't give Yukos enough time to prepare its defense, according to the ruling from the court in Strasbourg, France. (AP)
