Those awaiting Poroshenko’s verdict sang a carol in the courtroom

In the courtroom, where they choose a preventive measure for the ex-president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, they sang a carol. The video of the event was published on January 17 by the UNN channel.

At the same time, judging by the footage, the judge who will pass the sentence on the former Ukrainian leader has not yet returned after being removed to make a decision on the case.

Earlier, information was received about the deterioration in the state of health of a judge considering a measure of restraint for the ex-president of the country. The head of the headquarters of the European Solidarity party, Alexander Turchinov, told Izvestia that everyone was summoned to the hall to announce the decision. Petro Poroshenko, deputies and prosecutors were also present. After that, they reported that the judge was not able to announce the decision – “what he himself wrote or was dictated to him”, because he became ill. An ambulance was called to court.

Turchynov added that it is not clear whether the judge will announce a break in the meeting or announce the verdict of the court as the policy is suppressed.

Poroshenko is a defendant in the case of treason, the preventive measure for which is issued on Monday by the Pechersk Court of Kiev. The politician arrived that day in Kiev from Poland.

At the airport, he was met by employees of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) of the country, and his supporters were waiting for the politician at the air harbor building. Representatives of the State Bureau of Investigation prevented Poroshenko from going through passport control and took away his identity document, which they later returned.

On the same day, the prosecutor’s office asked the court to arrest Poroshenko for two months, providing for the possibility of posting a bail of $35.7 million. The prosecution also asks the court to oblige the ex-leader of the country to hand over his passports and wear an electronic bracelet if the court decides to post bail.

The former Ukrainian leader is being investigated for possible involvement in high treason. The investigation believes that Poroshenko disrupted the contracted deliveries of coal from South Africa in the fall of 2014. Instead, coal was purchased in the Donbass.
