A London judge said allegations of murder and corruption that form the backdrop of a dispute between some of Ukraine’s richest men won’t play a role in a civil lawsuit filed by billionaire Victor Pinchuk over the sale of a company a decade ago.

Pinchuk is seeking about $2 billion from Gennady Bogolyubov and Igor Kolomoisky over his March 2005 purchase of Alcross Commercial Ltd. from the two men.
