The bankruptcy hearing of Russia's oil company Yukos has begun in Moscow.
The bankruptcy suit was brought by a group of 14 foreign banks that were owed $482m by Yukos, but they have since sold this debt to Rosneft.
State-run oil giant Rosneft intends to snap up its remaining assets.
Yukos' collapse has happened in 2003 when when the Kremlin ordered it to pay back taxes totalling $32bn.
In 2004, a forced auction saw its main oil producing assets sold to Rosneft.
On Tuesday, the court put Yukos under external supervision, meaning that major decisions now have to go through a temporary manager.
