Russia’s highest court on Tuesday ordered a review of the second conviction of jailed former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky and his business partner Platon Lebedev, Dow Jones Newswires reported. The decision by Supreme Court Chairman Vyacheslav Lebedev overturned an earlier ruling in May by the same court that upheld their 2010 convictions for embezzlement and money laundering charges in a politically-tinged trial. The case heads back to the Moscow City Court for review.
