Tatiana Akhmedova, fighting to get hands on £450m in Britain's biggest ever divorce
A woman is fighting to get her hands on nearly £450 million
she is owed by her Russian billionaire ex-husband in Britain's biggest ever
divorce.
Tatiana Akhmedova was awarded a 41.5% share of businessman Farkhad
Akhmedov's £1 billion-plus fortune by a British judge in late 2016.
Mr Justice Haddon-Cave, who analysed the case at a trial in
the Family Division of the High Court in London, said Ms Akhmedova should walk
away with £453 million.
But he has heard that she has so far pocketed about £5
million and Mr Akhmedov has not "voluntarily" paid a penny.
Another judge, Mrs Justice Gwynneth Knowles, is due to
oversee the latest stage of litigation at a virtual hearing in the Family
Division of the High Court on Tuesday.
Ms Akhmedova says Mr Akhmedov has deployed a "strategy
of evasion" and tried to put assets, including a £346 million yacht - the
MV Luna - and a modern art collection, valued at more than £115 million, beyond
her reach.
She has taken action in Britain and abroad and become
embroiled in litigation with a number of trusts based in Lichtenstein and with
her 26-year-old son Temur, who she says is his father's "lieutenant".
Mr Akhmedov has said that because he and his ex-wife are not
British, and were not married in Britain, a British judge should not have made
decisions.
