Today in the Herald, an article by Mark Smith titled "Shell Gives in to Kremlin Pressure":
Robert Amsterdam, the defence counsel for Khodorkovsky, said: "The Kremlin has once again used legal pretexts to cover what is essentially an expropriation of private resources in the energy sector."No-one should be surprised that this is the result of the environmental review of Shell's project. Extortion is not permissible as a method of acquisition."
