Russian Prosecutors Go After 'Organized Crime Ring'

Are prosecutors intent on dismantling Yukos?

Russian Prosecutors Go After 'Organized Crime Ring'

The Russian prosecutor's office has put 10 people involved with the Yukos company on the international wanted list. These include all Yukos's major shareholders, with the exception of Mikhail Khodorkovskiy and Platon Lebedev, who are in custody, and Vasiliy Shakhnovskiy, whose case is currently before the courts. Investigators are saying that there was an 'organized crime ring led by Mikhail Khodorkovskiy' inside the company.

At the moment it is not clear if the prosecutor's office will succeed in proving all this in court, and to the authorities in Israel, where some of the wanted Yukos shareholders are currently to be found.

According to the deputy prosecutor general, many charged are heads of bogus companies through which bogus oil sales were channelled. This allowed the parties involved to avoid paying tax.
