Prague, 31 May 2005 (RFE/RL) -- The legal team representing former Yukos CEO Mikhail Khodorkovskii has vowed to appeal the conviction and nine-year prison term imposed on the former Russian oil tycoon by a Moscow court today.
Lawyer Genrikh Padva told reporters that the conviction on tax and fraud charges was politically motivated.
Yukos founder Khodorkovskii said the result of his trial was a "monument" to injustice and accused the Kremlin of ordering his conviction.
