The wife of a man allegedly on the Kremlin's "most-wanted list" has been ordered to pay £117,000 after being sued over work done to her UK home - reportedly worth £22million.
Elsina Khayrova, originally from Russia, was sued by GSL Installations, which claimed she owed over £240,000 after the installation of fountains and lights at her Surrey property.
Ms Khayrova, 33, who is married to Dmitry Tsvetkov, 40, disputed the claim.
A High Court judge delivered the ruling on Friday, with Ms Khayrova also ordered to pay nearly £50,000 worth of lawyer's bills run up by the accuser.
During an initial hearing on Thursday, Judge Adam Vaitilingam was told Ms Khayrova is the daughter of a former Russian politician.

Barrister Alastair Panton, who represented GSL, told the judge that more than £241,000 was owed for work at Ms Khayrova's "extremely large house" in Virginia Water.
He told the judge the property was worth £22million.
He said the company had done business with Ms Khayrova and her husband for about a decade, at "various properties" in the UK and Cyprus.
Bills had been paid for work at a flat in Knightsbridge, London, and other work at the house in Surrey, he said.
But a bill for fountains and garden lights and the improvement of an electricity supply had not been fully paid.
Mr Panton said Ms Khayrova and her husband were in the process of getting divorced.
He said bills had previously been paid by Ms Khayrova, not her husband.
"The defendant gives a reason for this," said Mr Panton in a written case outline.
"Apparently her husband is on the Kremlin's most-wanted list. Apparently, his life is in danger."
Ms Khayrova was not at the trial and was not represented by lawyers.
The judge was told that she said she had health problems.
