A lawyer for Goldman had argued on Thursday that the Moscow court had no jurisdiction and the case should instead be heard in London. At Otkritie's request, Goldman's assets in Russia, including its 5% stake in Russia's largest toy retailer, Detsky Mir (DSKY.MM), were sequestered last month. Otkritie says in a filing with the court that Goldman cited sanctions introduced against Moscow by the United States and Britain over Ukraine in failing to settle the debt.

The logo of Russian bank Otkritie is seen at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) in Saint Petersburg, Russia June 15, 2022. Otkritie says Goldman owes the money in connection with a derivatives agreement and wants the claim to be handled in the Moscow Arbitration Court. Otkritie, owned by state bank VTB (VTBR.MM), says in a filing with the court that Goldman Sachs cited sanctions introduced against Moscow by the United States and Britain over Ukraine in failing to settle the debt. A lawyer for Goldman asked on Thursday for the lawsuit to be dismissed on the grounds the Moscow court had no jurisdiction. Otkritie's lawyer said the Moscow court should have sole jurisdiction and that sanctions essentially prevented Otkritie from accessing justice services in the UK.
