Moscow asks Israel to extradite Khodorkovsky's former business partner
26 Mar, 11:33 PM
The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has referred a request to Israel for the extradition of the defunct oil company Yukos's former co-owner Leonid Nevzlin in connection with the life sentence handed down to him in absentia in Russia.
"A Russian court handed down a sentence on Nevzlin, which has taken effect. We have sent the verdict to Israel, as well as the files of the case in line with the 1957 extradition convention, and we request his extradition to implement the sentence which has taken effect and which lists the extensive evidence of his crimes," Saak Karapetian, the head of the International Legal Cooperation Department of the Prosecutor General's Office told Interfax.
Nevzlin, who resides in Israel, was sentenced in absentia in Russia on charges of organizing and attempting a murder. In January 2009 the Supreme Court upheld the verdict.
Israel already refused to extradite billionaire businessman in 2008, arguing that the evidence Russia had presented to support its claims against Nevzlin was insufficient. Nevzlin, whom Forbes magazine estimated to be worth $1.8 billion in 2003, immigrated to Israel that year.
Meahwhile, Nevzlin's former business partners Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev, imprisoned for fraud tax evasion, are under a new trial in Moscow and may have their prison terms extended in view of new charges.
