The lawyers of Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev have deliberately chosen procrastination tactics in studying a second criminal case involving their clients
The lawyers of Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev have deliberately chosen procrastination tactics in studying a second criminal case involving their clients, Prosecutor-General Yuri Chaika told the media in Moscow on Monday. The former chief of Yukos and head of the Menatep bank last February faced fresh charges of money laundering and embezzlement. In part, Khodorkovsky is charged with laundering some 25 billion dollars. Moscow’s Meshchansky court on May 31, 2005 found Khodorkovsky and Lebedev guilty under six articles of the Criminal Code, including fraud and tax evasion, to have sentenced them to nine years in prison each. On September 22 of the same year the Moscow City Court considered appeals from the convicts’ lawyers to have reduced the prison terms to eight years.
