Fridman’s Luxembourg-based LetterOne was set up in 2013, with the aim of investing the profits Fridman and his partner German Khan have collected from selling their share in the oil firm TNK-BP to the state-owned Rosneft.
So far, however, LetterOne has been facing a hostile response to its attempts to invest in the U.K., because of cooling relations between Moscow and London.
Fridman is Russia’s second-richest person, with about $17.6 billion, according to Forbes. Khan has an estimated at $10.2 billion.
