Ukraine’s richest oligarch files lawsuit against Russia at human rights court

• Rinat Akhmetov files case at Strasbourg-based internation tribunal

• Lawsuit comes days after Ukraine also filed human-rights case

Ukraine’s richest person Rinat Akhmetov has filed a lawsuit against Moscow at the European Court of Human Rights, claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government violated his property rights in its attack on his home country.

Akhmetov is the majority owner of Metinvest, Ukraine’s largest steel producer and the owner of two large mills, including Azovstal, which is located in the port city of Mariupol that Russian forces seized last month.
