Court Rejects Asset Seizure

A Moscow court dismissed prosecutors' bid to seize assets of U.S. private equity fund NCH Capital in Russia.
The decision comes as Russian and U.S. representatives prepare for talks at World Economic Forum in Davos.
Prosecutors had sought to ban NCH's activities, alleging its founders funded Ukraine's military.
NCH owns AgroTerra, a major Russian agricultural producer placed under state management in April 2024.
