French Court Rules in Favor of Rossiya Segodnya in Asset Freeze Case
Moreover, the accounts of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise ‘Goszagransobstvennost’ and Russian Satellite Communications Company have also been unfrozen, Director General of the International Center of Legal Defense Andrei Kondrakov told RIA Novosti.

In mid-June 2015, Rossiya Segodnya's French office bank accounts were frozen in response to the July 2014 $50-billion award to former Yukos shareholders by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague.

In April 2016, the High Court of Paris acknowledged the illegal freezing of Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency bank accounts in France on the initiative of the former shareholders of the now defunct Yukos oil company.
