Who will protect the lawyer?
The investigation accused in absentia the internationally wanted lawyer Pavel Ivlev, a partner in the New York law firm ALM Feldmans, of participating in the theft of more than $14 billion from YUKOS and its subsidiaries during 2001-2003 as part of an organized group. Ivlev himself does not admit guilt, calling the charges against him “monstrous”, and the court’s decision as revenge for his refusal to testify against YUKOS shareholders.
