Moscow City Court rejects appeal on a point of law by the defence team.

The judges of the Moscow City Court will for a fifth time scrutinise the legality or otherwise of conducting the investigation in Chita.  A hearing is announced.

Documents for 7 April.

On Saturday at 1 pm in Chita (local time) Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Platon Lebedev and their lawyers had to stop reading the case materials. In Moscow they submitted a petition for the investigation to be closed.

The press centre has now published in full the decision issued on 16 September by the presidium of the Moscow City Court. It is the third successive judicial body to rule that the 20 March 2007 decision of the Basmanny district court is lawful and substantiated.

Khodorkovksy and Lebedev should have been transferred to Moscow long ago, their lawyers remind the authorities.

The Moscow City Court has also now read Article 125 of the Code of criminal procedure but decided in favour of the Prosecutor General’s office.

Investigation forces Khodorkovsky, Lebedev and their defence to review the case files in Chita.

Lebedev’s defence filed charges against officers in the prosecutor's office.
