MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the prosecutor, not all Khodorkovsky's collaborators in Nefteyugansk mayor murder case have been detained.
"Remaining free, Khodorkovsky may pressure witnesses to avoid providing evidence or give false evidence, he can destroy evidence or use other means to prevent the investigation," Lakhtin said, explaining the reason the former head of the defunct Yukos oil company should remain arrested in absentia.
The Moscow City Court on Wednesday is expected to consider a complaint by lawyers regarding the decision to arrest the former oligarch in absentia.
Nefteyugansk Mayor Vladimir Petuhov was murdered in 1998.
