MOSCOW — Russian prosecutors said Friday that they will seek a 14-year prison sentence for one-time oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who is on trial for embezzlement and money laundering while already in his seventh year of incarceration for a tax-evasion conviction — all charges he has vehemently denied.
Khodorkovsky was once the richest man in Russia and is a personal foe of Premier Vladimir Putin. The current trial has been regarded by some observers as a referendum on whether Russia has changed since Putin was succeeded in the presidency by Dmitry Medvedev.
