was accused of having backed out of the deal to purchase TGK-2 at short notice and without valid justification, thereby driving Sintez to the brink of ruin. There seemed to be numerous discrepancies: For example, according to press reports, there was only one bidder at the auction, although there had previously been talk in the media of weighty interested parties. In 2015, the Essen Regional Court dismissed Sintez's lawsuit against RWE. However, the court also ruled that a lawsuit against then RWE CEO Jürgen Großmann was admissible. According to media reports, Großmann is said to have pushed the transaction personally and even called in former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder to influence the ultimately failed deal through Russian politics.

The case is currently still before the New York State Supreme Court. Film producer Red Arrow Lebedev is a movie producer with more than twenty feature films in his portfolio.
