The son of a Russian oligarch locked in an acrimonious \u00a3453m divorce battle backed partly by Burford Capital<\/a> called his mother\u2019s agreement with the litigation funder \u201cunlawful\u201d when she dragged him into her case on Monday. <\/p>\n Tatiana Akhmedova, the ex-wife of oligarch Farkhad Akhmedov, accused 26-year-old Temur Akhmedov of helping his father evade a mammoth divorce settlement<\/a> awarded to her four years ago and applied to add him to the opposing side of her case. <\/p>\n Ms Akhmedova and Farkhad Akhmedov \u2014 a former ally of Vladimir Putin \u2014 divorced in Russia in 2000 and she was later awarded the largest-ever divorce settlement in the UK. Ms Akhmedova enlisted Burford Capital to locate and chase her ex-husband\u2019s assets around the world when he refused to pay, including a multimillion- pound mega-yacht, Luna, formerly owned by Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich. <\/p>\n In court filings presented on Monday, Ms Akhmedova accused British-born Temur Akhmedov, who was bought a flat in One Hyde Park allegedly by his father, of being given substantial sums by Farkhad Akhmedov in order to \u201cput those assets beyond Tatiana\u2019s reach\u201d.<\/p>\n She is seeking to claim back money owed to her by potentially seizing her son\u2019s assets and demanded to see documents detailing money given to him by his father, as well as information about the transfer of Farkhad Akhmedov\u2019s assets to trusts in Lichtenstein.<\/p>\n
