Court giving Khodorkovsky verdict adjourns until Tuesday

The court reading the complex verdict in the fraud and tax evasion trial of oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky adjourned until Tuesday, Russian news agencies reported.

The adjournment was called about three hours after the judge began reading the verdict. The early reading largely reiterated the indictment against Khodorkovsky, which his defense team said almost certainly means he will be found guilty.
