Leonid Nevzlin of Menatep Group, Yukos key shareholder, told journalists during a news conference broadcast online on Tuesday, that the Russian authorities intended to kill the jailed former Yukos head Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Menatep head Platon Lebedev.
He claimed that the intention to kill Khodorkovsky and Lebedev, of which Khodorkovsky wrote him in a letter from custody, was confirmed by the fact that they were sent to remote prison colonies.
He added that Khodorkovsky had attempted to register as a candidate for parliament, but failed due to the rapid consideration of his appeal and the sentence that sent him to eight years in prison
