Former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky has applied for a visa to Switzerland less than a week after being released from decade-long imprisonment in Russia.
A spokesman for the Swiss Foreign Ministry says Khodorkovsky submitted the request at the Swiss embassy in Berlin. The 50-year-old, a long-time critic of Russia's President Vladimir Putin, flew to Germany on Friday within hours of being pardoned. Swiss Foreign Ministry declined to provide further details.
