Statements of Support (2003-2013) / Kudeshkina, Olga

“In recent years, it is not only the investors’ money that is being put at risk, but also their personal freedom. It is proved by cases like [the trial] of Khodorkovsky and Lebedev, the political motivations behind which are no longer doubted by anyone; or the mysterious death in custody of Hermitage Capital’s Sergey Magnitsky, who has fallen victim to reiderstvo…Therefore, even with all the attractiveness of Russian economy, the risks to foreign investment in Russia continue to stay very high”

Olga Kudeshkina, Former Moscow City Court Judge with over 20 years of practice. Answer provided through Khodorkovsky’s Russian Press Centre, February, 10, 2012
