Statements of Support (2003-2013) / Shenderovich, Victor

“During his visit to Paris Putin compared the Khodorkovsky case to that of the American fraudster Bernard Madoff … Does Putin have any information that Barack Obama personally gave the go-ahead to prosecute Madoff? Are there documents confirming that Madoff’s billions were ‘divvied up’ between Obama’s closest friends as the result of a phoney auction? If he has no such information then, in my humble opinion, Mr Putin should quickly withdraw his words and apologise to the world for his latest exhibition of cynical demagogy”
