Court records revealed that as part of a lawsuit involving the German bank, a Russian court has ordered that Deutsche Bank’s shares, property, accounts, and assets be confiscated in Russia.
A deal between Germany’s Linde and the bank to build a gas processing plant in Russia was canceled because of Western sanctions. The bank was one of the guarantor lenders under the agreement. Russian gas giant Gazprom, which is the project operator, owns 50% of the joint venture RusChemAlliance, based in St Petersburg, which brought the complaint.
