London's High Court rules against Venezuela's Maduro in $1bn gold battle
London's High Court has rejected President Nicolas Maduro's latest efforts to gain control of more than $1-billion of Venezuela's gold reserves stored in the Bank of England's underground vaults in London. The court ruled on Friday that previous decisions by the Maduro-backed Venezuelan Supreme Court aimed at reducing opposition leader Juan Guaido's say over the gold, should be disregarded.
