Google was ordered by a US judge to turn over the content of emails of the son of Farkhad Akhmedov to the Russian oligarch’s former wife in her pursuit of a £450mil (RM2.45bil) divorce judgment.

The skirmish over the email accounts is part of one of London’s largest divorce fights – involving a super yacht in Dubai and litigation funder Burford Capital Ltd – which landed before a judge in San Jose, California, in the federal court closest to Google’s Mountain View headquarters 14 miles away.
