Statements of Support (2003-2013) / Westerwelle, Guido MEP

“I regret that the Moscow City Court upheld the verdict against Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev. The questionable circumstances of the case once again throw a negative light on the efforts to improve rule of law in Russia. Legal certainty is a valuable asset and a prerequisite for investments as important as well as the citizens’ sense of safety and justice”
