在一场罕见的法律争斗中，一名前俄罗斯能源行业内部人士起诉了受制裁的石油贸易商，据西方官员称，这些贸易商已成为帮助莫斯科出售石油并为其在乌克兰的战争提供资金的最重要中间人。
In a rare legal fight, a former Russian energy industry insider has sued sanctioned oil traders who, according to Western officials, have become the most important middlemen enabling Moscow to sell its oil and fund its war in Ukraine.
伊戈尔·索格拉耶夫指称，他于2024年初与莫斯科支持的被称为“珊瑚网络”的贸易商合作。在一艘载有数千万美元柴油的油轮未能在巴西交付货物后，双方关系破裂。据《华尔街日报》审阅的法庭文件显示，双方目前正在巴西和阿拉伯联合酋长国的法院对簿公堂。受理主要案件的阿联酋法院尚未公开审理情况。
Igor Soglayev alleges he teamed up in early 2024 with Moscow-backed traders known as the Coral network. The relationship soured after a tanker carrying tens of millions of dollars worth of diesel failed to deliver its cargo in Brazil. The two sides are now slugging it out in courts in Brazil and the United Arab Emirates, filings reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show. The U.A.E. court handling the main case hasn’t publicized the proceedings.
