Jailed Yukos founder Mikhail Khodorkovsky is looking at a possible 15-year prison term in connection with a money-laundering inquiry. The prison term would come on top of the eight years he is already serving.

Prosecutors on Wednesday questioned Khodorkovsky as part of their inquiry.

"Khodorkovsky is suspected of stealing oil revenues from Yukos subsidiary firms and then laundering these funds by donating them to Open Russia," Khodorkovsky's lawyer, Yury Shmidt, said by telephone from the regional capital, Chita.

He should get hard time in Siberia for what he has done.

Nothing more than a big time low life crook with some very famous names behind him no doubt.
