Grigory Pasko: Another Seven Years?

Procurator Lakhtin in the name of the entire UPG – united procuratorial group – demanded to deprive former head of YUKOS Mikhail Khodorkovsky and ex-executive of MFO “Menatep” Platon Lebedev of liberty for a term of 14 years with the serving of the punishment in a general-regime colony. This term, as the defendants’ lawyers clarified, includes within itself the punishment set under the first verdict of the year 2005. Then Khodorkovsky and Lebedev were sentenced to 8 years of deprivation of liberty each. In other words, if the court agrees with the procurators’ proposal, then Khodorkovsky and Lebedev will come out to liberty in the year 2017.
