Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will discover this week whether he has won a multibillion-dollar legal battle with fellow Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, court officials have said.

Berezovsky, 66, claimed that Abramovich, 45, had "intimidated" him into selling shares in a Russian oil company at a fraction of their value, during a High Court trial which started in London in October 2011 and ended in January 2012.

He also claimed that Abramovich had broken a promise made during a deal relating to an aluminium company.

Berezovsky alleged blackmail, breach of trust and breach of contract and claimed more than £3 billion ($4.57 billion) damages.

Abramovich denied the allegations and denied that Berezovsky was entitled to damages.

Judicial Office officials said that High Court judge Mrs Justice Gloster would deliver a ruling in London on Friday.
