A Moscow court granted a defense petition and dropped the criminal prosecution of Vasily Alexanyan, former Vice-President of defunct oil giant YUKOS, because the statute of limitation on his charges has expired. Alexanyan, who is gravely ill, came to court in order to confirm his agreement to end the trial with no judgment on the merits. Alexanyan was accused of corporate theft, money laundering, and tax evasion. Meanwhile, a trial on similar charges against other YUKOS managers, Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev, continues in another court.
