LONDON – Britain’s biggest divorce settlement was yesterday agreed between Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky and his ex-wife, her solicitor said.

Galina Besharova (52) earned the biggest settlement in British legal history after Mr Berezovsky admitted unreasonable behaviour, said lawyer Deborah Levy.

Mrs Levy, of WGS solicitors, could not confirm the amount of money involved in the settlement but reports suggest the deal could be worth more than £100 million.

The previous settlement record was set when insurance broker John Charman paid his former wife, Beverley, £48 million. – (PA)
