A Moscow court sentenced Russian ex-oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky and his business partner Platon Lebedev to another six years in prison.
Judge Viktor Danilkin finished reading the full 250-page verdict on Thursday.
Khodorkovsky's press service said he could be released in 2017.
Moscow's Khamovnichesky Court announced a guilty verdict on Monday for Khodorkovsky, once Russia's richest man and seen as a political threat to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, and his business partner Platon Lebedev.
The two men, who have already spent seven years in jail for fraud and tax evasion from their 2005 trial, face up to seven more years in prison after the court found them guilty of embezzling 218 million tons of oil from Khodorkovsky's former oil firm Yukos and laundering over 3 billion rubles ($97.5 million) in revenues.
The trial is widely viewed by analysts as a political vendetta by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, whom Khodorkovsky challenged by funding the liberal opposition in the early 2000s.
