Russian dissident and businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky has been officially summoned to Moscow for questioning in connection with the 1998 murder of a Russian mayor. Khodorkovsky currently lives in Switzerland in self-imposed exile and labels this latest round of accusations as being politically motivated.
