Venezuela lawyers are petitioning a United States court to halt the $5.9 billion sale of refiner Citgo Petroleum, citing a valuation surge to $15.1 billion. The legal challenge follows a November court-approved bid from Amber Energy, an affiliate of Elliott Investment Management. For investors, the dispute threatens to derail a multi-billion dollar liquidation process intended to satisfy creditors holding billions in defaulted debt.
