[JURIST] Minority shareholders of embattled Russian oil company Yukos [corporate website; JURIST news archive] have begun to coordinate their efforts to ensure that losses incurred after Russia's dismantling of the oil company will be recouped. Shipston Group, a Bahamas-based investment fund, is coordinating the efforts and Shipston's manager said Thursday that the minority shareholders are seeking to be given a proportional share in Yuganskneftegaz, Yukos' former production facility auctioned off [JURIST report] last December in order to help pay off Yukos' $28 billion back tax bill. Shipston said that the minority shareholders will take legal action, if necessary to recoup their losses and said that the group will follow the example set by Menatep, Yukos' majority shareholder, which has filed a $28 billion lawsuit against Russia [JURIST report] and has promised to file other lawsuits in western courts.
