Jury Decided That Sotheby’s Did Not Facilitate Fraud Against Dmitry Rybolovlev

Court Cases Charlene Lensburg - January 31, 2024

The auction house Sotheby’s was recently exonerated in a lawsuit filed by Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev. Rybolovlev had accused the prestigious auction house of complicity in a scheme that allegedly saw him overpaying for renowned artworks, including pieces by Leonardo da Vinci, Gustav Klimt, and others. A jury in a civil trial in New York decided in favor of Sotheby’s on Tuesday, rejecting a Russian oligarch’s claim.
