I am an Administrative assistant to Mr. Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky the Chairman/CEO of YUKOS OIL CORPORATION (Russian Largest Oil Corporation) with branch offices worldwide.
As an assistant to Mr. Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky, some documents for was handed over to me for the payment of a foreign contractor. Already Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky has released this fund to the offshore account of Yukos Oil Corp from where the final wire transfer is expected to be carried out.
While I was working on the final Approval Documents for transferring the funds, Mr. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested due to his involvement and financial support for the opposition political party in Russia which posed the greatest challenge ever to the former president Vladimir V. Putin who happens to be the current Prime Minister of Russia.
Mr. Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky who was considered as the most powerful of the Russian business oligarchs was later prosecuted and sentenced to prison on charges of massive fraud and tax evasion. The Russian government has filed new charges against Mr. Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky with an aim of keeping him in prison indefinitely. A wide variety of local & foreign politicians, civil activists and journalists considers the process leading to the imprisonment of Mr. Khodorkovsky to be politically motivated.
