Mr Guryev Sr is the largest shareholder in PhosAgro, a Russian fertiliser producer which has a listing on the London Stock Exchange .
Mr Gorbachev co-founded the company and said at the time that the writ was served in October 2019 that the disputed stake was worth £1bn."It is likely to be one of London's biggest litigations next year, and to attract significant media interest," the email from Mr Gorbachev's advisers said. In the email to Ms Truss and Mr Gove, Mr Gorbachev's advisers also referred to"a penthouse apartment at St George's Wharf, London, and quite possibly other UK assets as well" said to be owned by Mr Guryev Sr.
