The local Russian media is rippled with rumoured reports of a potential clash of interest between Deripaska and Vladimir Potanin over the shares in Norilsk Nickel and landing on the US Treasury Department’s "Kremlin List" behind the exit of Deripaska. However, no official statements have been issued on that.
