In the trial of Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev, the defense called Viktor Gerashchenko, formerly the Central Bank head, later Chairman of the Board of Directors of Yukos (appointed in 2004 after Khodorkovsky's arrest), as a witness. Gerashchenko stated that the charges brought against the defendants (stealing all oil extracted by Yukos) are “a load of rubbish” (chush sobachya). According to Gerashchenko, if the oil had been stolen, Yukos could not have been the biggest oil company in Russia.
