There will be no mercy

According to lawyers, the indictment repeats not only most of the wording of the charges, but also arithmetic errors in calculating damages. Judging by the fact that Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev have already been found guilty of a number of charges, the sentence may be close to what the state prosecutor is asking for. All the talk that Khodorkovsky and Lebedev might receive suspended sentences appears to have been unfounded.
