The applicant, formerly the richest person in Russia, was a board member and the major shareholder of Yukos, a large oil company. He was also involved in politics, providing significant funds to the opposition parties Yabloko and SPS (Union of Right Forces), as well as to the non-profit Open Russia Foundation.<\/p>\n

In 2003 the applicant was charged with a number of crimes, including fraudulent acquisition of shares, abuse of trust, misappropriation of property, tax evasion, large-scale fraud and forgery of official documents. Several pre-trial detention orders failed to establish the period of detention,\u00a0and the authorities consistently denied independent observers the opportunity to inspect the conditions of his detention.<\/p>\n
