The Hague Court lifted the seizure of Gazprom's assets in the Netherlands

The Hague District Court has overturned a decision to seize the assets of Russian energy giant Gazprom in the Netherlands. This was reported on July 22 by the Reuters news agency with reference to the resolution.

"The court ruled that the seizure of Gazprom's assets may violate the principle of state immunity, which means that Dutch courts cannot judge the actions of another state or a state entity," the material says.

It is specified that the assets are shares in the gas producing companies Wintershall Noordzee and Gazprom International Projects BV, which are part of the Gazprom group.

Gazprom's Wintershall Noordzee stake was seized in September 2024 at the request of the Ukrainian company Slavutich-Invest. Gazprom's assets in the Netherlands were also seized following a separate lawsuit filed by another Ukrainian company, Zhniva.
