A London court is finally set to decide who controls more than $1 billion of Venezuelan gold stored in the Bank of England’s vaults.
Opposition leader Juan Guaido, who’s won a series of legal clashes in the UK, is pushing for a judge to assert his right to control the bullion, saying London courts can disregard decisions taken by Venezuelan judges. The trial comes after the British government recognized Guaido as the Venezuelan president.
