Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the Russian jailed oil tycoon, was sentenced to six more years in prison Thursday following a trial that was criticized by the West as a payback for challenging Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, according to the “Associated Press.”

Moscow judge Viktor Danilkin ordered Khodorkovsky to serve 14 years in prison, including his current eight-year term, after he was found guilty of theft and money-laundering. Danilkin said there was no way the 47-year-old could be reformed with “isolation from society.”
