MOSCOW (AP) — Russian news reports say that a judge has found former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky guilty in his second trial, a verdict that would likely keep Russia’s former richest man behind bars for several more years.

The Interfax and ITAR-Tass news agencies report that the judge said Monday in the opening pages of his verdict that Khodorkovsky has been found guilty.

Khodorkovsky is nearing the end of his eight-year sentence after being convicted of tax fraud in a case seen as punishment for challenging the Kremlin power.

The conviction on charges of stealing oil from his company and laundering the proceeds could keep him behind bars until 2017.
