Russian billionaire and Chelsea soccer club owner Roman Abramovich is acquiring a 7.3-percent stake in mining giant Norilsk Nickel to help end a long running shareholder dispute, a statement said on Tuesday.
Analysts said that Abramovich was moving into Norilsk Nickel's capital as a neutral referee to help end the bitter feud between fellow oligarchs Oleg Deripaska and Vladimir Potanin.
The Hong Kong-listed aluminium producer Rusal controlled by Deripaska said it had reached an agreement with Potanin's Interros over the management of Norilsk Nickel.
