MOSCOW, July 22 (Reuters) - A Russian court has suspended the corporate rights of the Russian subsidiary of London-listed steel producer Evraz EVRE.L in a lawsuit filed by Russia's industry and trade ministry, the company said on Tuesday.
Evraz said it intended to challenge the decision. The industry and trade ministry had no immediate comment.
A handful of Russian companies have had their corporate rights suspended in Russia, an effort by Moscow to force companies registered abroad to redomicile in Russia.
