尤金·特嫩鲍姆(左)与罗曼·阿布拉莫维奇(右)在切尔西FC合影,2014年 BBC看到的泄露文件显示,罗曼·阿布拉莫维奇最亲密的伙伴之一误导英国法院,以协助获得西伯利亚油田的所有权。
Eugene Tenenbaum, a former director of Chelsea Football Club, helped to manage the billionaire's wealth at the time of the case in 2008, which Abramovich won.
切尔西足球俱乐部前董事尤金·特嫩鲍姆在2008年案件期间协助管理这位亿万富翁的财富,该案最终由阿布拉莫维奇胜诉。
Tenenbaum was giving evidence during proceedings taken against Abramovich by a company owned by another Russian billionaire, who was claiming the oil fields had been stolen from him and other investors.
特嫩鲍姆在另一位俄罗斯亿万富翁拥有的公司对阿布拉莫维奇的诉讼中作证,该公司声称油田被盗,来自他和其他投资者。
The leaked documents now suggest there was a premeditated attempt by Abramovich to reduce the value of the other investors' stake in the Siberian venture.
泄露的文件现在表明,阿布拉莫维奇曾有预谋地试图降低其他投资者在西伯利亚项目中的持股价值。
Roman Abramovich's lawyers say their "client denies all the allegations made against him".
罗曼·亚伯拉莫维奇的律师表示,他们的"当事人否认所有针对他的指控"。
Lawyers for Eugene Tenenbaum say he "denies in the strongest terms any suggestion that he committed perjury or contempt of court".
尤金·特嫩鲍姆的律师表示,他"以最强烈的措辞否认他有任何伪证或藐视法庭的指控"。
The 2008 court case centred on the ownership of Siberian oil fields being developed jointly between Abramovich's company, Sibneft, and the Russian subsidiary of the British company, Sibir Energy PLC, owned by Russian billionaire Chalva Tchigirinsky.
2008年的法庭案件围绕阿布拉莫维奇的公司Sibneft与英国公司Sibir Energy PLC的俄罗斯子公司Sibir Energy PLC共同开发的西伯利亚油田所有权展开,Sibir Energy PLC由俄罗斯亿万富翁查尔瓦·奇吉林斯基拥有。
Sibneft contributed money, while the subsidiary Yugraneft provided the licences for the oil fields.
Sibneft出资,子公司Yugraneft提供油田许可证。
Their partnership - which became known as Sibneft-Yugra - ended acrimoniously.
他们的合作关系后来被称为Sibneft-Yugra,但以紧张的结局结束。
Sibir's 50% interest in the joint venture had been diluted, or reduced, to less than 1%.
西伯在合资企业中50%的股份已被稀释或减少到不到1%。
It said this had been done without its knowledge. Unsuccessful attempts to sue Sibneft in both Russia and the British Virgin Islands led to the court proceedings in London.
它表示这是在不知情的情况下进行的。 在俄罗斯和英属维尔京群岛起诉西布内夫特的失败尝试导致诉讼在伦敦进行。
At court in 2008, Yugraneft claimed "to have been the victim of a massive fraud directed by Mr Abramovich", as a result of which it had suffered a loss of "not less that $2 billion", which in 2008 was worth about £1bn.
2008年,尤格拉涅夫特在法庭上声称"遭受了阿布拉莫维奇先生主导的大规模诈骗",因此损失了"不少于20亿美元",而2008年这笔损失约为10亿英镑。
But Abramovich's team claimed that Yugraneft had been unable to repay loans of more than $30m, so lost its right over the shares.
但阿布拉莫维奇团队声称尤格拉内夫特无法偿还超过3000万美元的贷款,因此失去了对这些股份的权利。

In the High Court, lawyers for Yugraneft argued the case should be heard in London, and that Tenenbaum, who was based there at the time, must have been aware of the dilution of Yugraneft's interest.
在高等法院,Yugraneft的律师认为该案件应该在伦敦进行审理,当时在那里的Tenenbaum一定意识到Yugraneft的利益被淡化。
But Tenenbaum denied this and told the court "he only became aware of Sibneft-Yugra in Spring 2004".
但Tenenbaum否认了这一点,并告诉法庭"他只是在2004年春天才意识到Sibneft-Yugra"。
He also testified he had "searched" his "files, emails and documents from 2002 to 2004" and had in his "possession no records or documents or other communications that relate to Sibneft-Yugra".
他还作证说,他"搜查"了他的"2002年至2004年的档案、电子邮件和文件",并且"没有任何与Sibneft-Yugra有关的记录或文件或其他通信"。
But the leaked documents suggest he misled the court.
但泄露的文件表明他误导了法庭。
They show that in October 2003, months before Tenenbaum said he first became aware of Sibneft-Yugra, he had authorised Abramovich's purchase of shares in the joint venture.
他们显示,在2003年10月,在Tenenbaum说他第一次意识到Sibneft-Yugra之前的几个月,他已经授权Abramovich购买合资企业的股份。
Two months later, Tenenbaum authorised another financial deal related to Sibneft-Yugra.
两个月后,特嫩鲍姆批准了另一笔与Sibneft-Yugra相关的金融交易。
Andrew Mitchell KC, an expert in financial services law, told Panorama that it would be "very serious" if Tenenbaum's 2008 evidence was false and that it could "range from being perjury, to an attempt to pervert the course of justice, to being a contempt of the court".
金融服务法专家安德鲁·米切尔大律师告诉《全景》,如果特南鲍姆2008年的证据是虚假的,将是"非常严重的",且可能"可能构成伪证、妨碍司法公正的企图,甚至构成藐视法庭"。
Tenenbaum's lawyers told us "he gave his evidence honestly and in good faith" and that he "cannot recall the context or detail of documents" more than 20 years old.
特南鲍姆的律师告诉我们,"他诚实且善意地作证",并且"无法回忆起超过20年前文件的背景或细节"。
Tenenebaum (left) had final sign-off on most of Abramovich's (right) business projects The judge made clear in his 2008 judgement that Tenenbaum's knowledge of the Sibneft-Yugra deal would not have made a difference to his decision, however the leak also suggests some of the documents presented by Abramovich's legal team to the High Court had been falsified.
特内内鲍姆(左)对阿布拉莫维奇(右)的大部分商业项目都做了最终批准 法官在2008年的判决中明确表示,特嫩鲍姆对西布内夫特-尤格拉协议的知情不会影响他的决定,但泄露也暗示阿布拉莫维奇法律团队向高等法院提交的一些文件是伪造的。
One of the agreements was dated August 2003, but appears not to have been created or actually signed until 2007.
其中一份协议日期为2003年8月,但似乎直到2007年才正式制定或签署。
Abramovich's team had argued in court that Yugraneft's interest had been diluted because of the need for finance for the joint venture.
阿布拉莫维奇团队在法庭上辩称,由于合资企业需要资金,尤格拉内夫特的利益被稀释。
They claimed Tchigirinsky had approached them "in the spring of 2002" with a view to new financing arrangements.
他们声称奇吉林斯基"在2002年春天"曾接触他们,寻求新的融资安排。
Tchigirinsky denied this was the case.
奇吉林斯基否认了这一点。
The leaked documents show that before then, in January 2002, Abramovich's Russian associates had already prepared a bundle of documents.
泄露的文件显示,在此之前,即2002年1月,阿布拉莫维奇的俄罗斯同伙已经准备了一批文件。
They included agreements under which two Abramovich companies would acquire shares in Sibneft-Yugra, increasing his stake and diluting Yugraneft's. This evidence suggests they were already planning to dilute Yugraneft's interest and that the argument they used in court about financing was a smokescreen.
其中包括两家阿布拉莫维奇公司将收购Sibneft-Yugra的股份的协议,增加他的股份并稀释Yugraneft的股份。 这一证据表明,他们已经计划淡化Yugraneft的兴趣,他们在法庭上使用的关于融资的论点是烟幕。
Lawyers for Abramovich said: "The Judgment made no finding that the dilution was premeditated", or that it was "fraudulent".
阿布拉莫维奇的律师说:"判决没有发现稀释是有预谋的",或者它是"欺诈性的"。
They added: "The Judge found that our client received no property belonging to Yugraneft, and that no Yugraneft asset could be traced into his hands."
他们补充说:"法官发现我们的客户没有收到属于Yugraneft的财产,也没有Yugraneft资产可以追溯到他手中。"
