A verdict in the new case against former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky and his business ally Platon Lebedev is due on December 15, Judge Viktor Danilkin said on Tuesday.
Khodorkovsky and Lebedev have already spent seven years behind bars for tax evasion. They are facing new charges of embezzlement and money laundering that could keep them in jail for another 7 years.
