Khodorkovsky Foreign Lawyers: He To Be Convicted Politically

Yesterday foreign lawyers for Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the jailed ex-boss of Yukos, said that they expected a judge would convict him on what ?politically driven charges?.

John Papalardo, a member of Khodorkovsky's legal team, said that the court would likely issue a guilty verdict when it reconvenes to issue its judgment on April 27 "as in any political prosecution."
