Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko will not go for questioning on December 23 in the high treason case, his lawyer Ilya Novikov said. According to him, the ex-president who left Ukraine was not properly served with the summons. Mr. Poroshenko is a suspect in the case of coal supplies from Donbass.
“No, because why would he have to go to it? Both subpoenas, and the one that they tried to serve on Friday, and the one that today (December 20.— “B”.) shoved him into the gate, they were discharged in the wrong way, “- said Mr. Novikov on the air of the channel” UA: Pershy “(quoted by” RIA Novosti “). We will remind, earlier the State Bureau of Investigation published a video in which Mr. Poroshenko leaves from representatives of law enforcement agencies.
It became known about the presentation of suspicions to Petro Poroshenko the day before. Another person involved in the case is Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the political council of the Opposition Platform – For Life party. According to the investigation, Mr. Medvedchuk and unnamed Russian officials discussed the supply of coal from Donbass to Ukraine between 2014 and 2015, when Petro Poroshenko was president. It is noteworthy that they tried to hand over the first summons for interrogation to Mr. Poroshenko after he burst into the studio of a state TV channel and accused him of illegal financing on the air.
