"The Prosecutor General's Office conducted searches in my office and [Denis] Dyatlev's office while I was in Matrosskaya Tishina [detention center]," said defense team member Albert Mkrtychev by telephone.
Mkrtychev said prosecutors had confiscated files on a different case. They seized documents presented in court from Dyatlev's office.
"The judges declined to accept the documents for the record. There is nothing secret about them," Mkrtychev said.
He said 10-15 officers participated in the raid.
"I could not enter the office as the street was cordoned off and police let no one in."
The Prosecutor General's Office did not offer any comments on the lawyer's accusations.
On Wednesday, investigators raided the office of Anton Drel, another Khodorkovsky attorney, and the offices of beleaguered oil giant Yukos in Russia and the Netherlands as part of a probe into an alleged $7 billion money-laundering scheme.
