MOSCOW (AP) - A little-known Russian company, OOO Prana, on Friday bought the last remaining assets of the bankrupt Yukos oil company, including its headquarters building, for 100.092 billion rubles ($3.87 billion), beating out Russian state oil company Rosneft.
Once Russia's largest oil producer and regarded as one of the country's best-run and most transparent enterprises, Yukos was dismantled in a series of legal actions that some observers saw as political revenge by the Kremlin.
Prana outbid state-controlled oil company OAO Rosneft in an auction that exceeded the opening price by more than fourfold.
