The Meshchansky municipal court of Moscow found Vasily Shakhnovsky guilty of tax evasion in the amount of 28.5 million rubles and sentenced him to one year in prison.
However, due to the fact that the ex-head of the Yukos-Moscow "ceased to be socially dangerous", he was released in the courtroom.
At the same time, the court recognized him as innocent under the second article of the charges of falsification of documents, Gazeta.ru reports.
