The Russian Supreme Court has passed a special ruling in relation to the head of the Moscow City Court Olga Yegorova, given violations in the procedure of extending the custody term for ex-Yukos head Mikhail Khodorkovsky and his business partner Platon Lebedev.
The special ruling was passed after the Supreme Court heard a complaint, filed by Lebedev’s defense lawyers, against the ruling to extend their client’s custody from May 17 to Aug. 17.
The special ruling draws Yegorova’s attention to "flagrant violations committed when the decision was being made to extend Khodorkovsky and Lebedev’s custody."
