Mikhail Khodorkovsky's fraud conviction upheld

A Moscow court has upheld ex-tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky's second conviction for fraud but cut his 14-year sentence by one year.

Khodorkovsky was convicted in December of embezzling nearly $30bn (£19bn; 21bn euros) worth of his own company's oil and laundering the proceeds.
