Yukos, Mikhail Khodorkovsky freed

Yukos once epitomised the transformation of Russian business from its chaotic, robber-baron state in the 1990s to something approaching international norms. But a series of dubious lawsuits and auctions bankrupted Yukos and left the company’s shareholders hugely out of pocket—and furious.

不過，霍多爾科夫斯基的父親早些時候對美聯社說，他和妻子仍在莫斯科，但正凖備飛往德國。霍多爾科夫斯基的母親過去曾在德國就醫。
俄國官員強調，霍多爾科夫斯基搭乘飛機離開完全是他自己的意願。

德國歡迎

德國總理默克爾表示，她對霍多爾科夫斯基獲釋感到高興。
德國外交部周五早些時候證實，霍多爾科夫斯基搭乘的飛機抵達了柏林的舍內費爾德機場。報道說，在莫斯科的德國大使館為霍多爾科夫斯基提供了幫助。
與此同時，外電報道顯示，德國前外交部長漢斯-迪特裏希·根舍也為霍多爾科夫斯基的獲釋作出了努力。
德國電視台的報道說，根舍曾經兩度與霍多爾科夫斯基會面。

分析家說，普京可能嘗試在明年2月黑海度假勝地索契舉行冬季奧運前，化解國際對俄羅斯人權紀錄的壓力。
霍多爾科夫斯基在為反對黨提供資金之後，先後在2005年和2010年兩次被判刑，罪名包括詐騙、盜竊、逃稅、挪用公款和洗錢等。他一共需要服刑13年，直至2016年，現在已經被囚禁十年。
他的支持者一直聲稱他是一名政治犯。

European Court ruling on Khodorkovsky trial

The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Russia was guilty of violations in its jailing of former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

The Court said it had no firm proof that the case was politically motivated but it ordered Moscow to pay Khodorkovsky more than 24,000 euros in compensation. Khodorkovsky, once Russia’s richest man, was arrested in 2003 and jailed on charges of fraud and tax evasion. His lawyers have called this week’s ruling "a major victory". Geert Groot Koerkamp has more from Moscow.
