CARACAS, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Canadian miner Crystallex has demonstrated that Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA and Venezuela's government are not separate entities, a U.S. court said in a ruling released on Friday, a crucial step in a 10-year dispute over the nationalization of Crystallex's assets.
The U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware said it had not yet determined when it would issue a writ allowing Crystallex to attach shares in a U.S.-based PDVSA subsidiary PDV Holding Inc.
