Oil tycoon still waiting on verdict
RUSSIAN judges strung out an apparently inevitable guilty verdict on the oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky yesterday, delaying their summing-up for a second day.
The judges resumed reading out their lengthy findings in the fraud and tax evasion case but the court was then adjourned until today without a formal verdict or sentence on the ex-head of the oil giant, Yukos.
The heavily politicised case, which has rumbled on for 22 months, has scared off foreign investors and soured Russia’s relations with the West.
