After Mr. Khodorkovsky remains active in civil society and Russian politics, and after former Yukos shareholders begin efforts to enforce the July 2014 arbitration judgment, Russian authorities bring new charges against Mr. Khodorkovsky, this time for alleged involvement in the 1998 Petukhov murder for which Mr. Pichugin and Mr. Nevzlin were previously charged.

Consequently, Mr. Khodorkovsky seeks and obtains political asylum in Britain based on these charges.
