Zakharova outraged by a court ruling in London on Venezuelan gold

This is stated in a statement by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, published on the Foreign Ministry website.

“This decision is outrageous ... Obviously, in the UK, the independence of the court works only as long as the position of the judges is consistent with the opinion of the government,” Zakharova said.

Earlier it was reported that the High Court of London in a dispute between the Bank of Venezuela and the Bank of England on the return of gold worth € 930 million recognized the legitimacy of the "presidency" of the opposition leader of Venezuela Guaido.

The Central Bank of Venezuela said that the decision of the court of London "is aimed at depriving the Venezuelan people of gold" and announced their intention to appeal against it.
