The profile of ex-president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko disappeared from the list of persons who are on the domestic wanted list. This is evidenced on Monday, January 17, data from the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
Poroshenko is a defendant in the treason case, which is being considered by the Kiev Pechersk Court on Monday. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine earlier in the day announced that the politician was on the domestic wanted list at the initiative of the country’s Security Service.
As specified in the department, the former Ukrainian leader “disappeared” on December 24 last year. They considered that Poroshenko was “hiding from the pre-trial investigation authorities.”
However, when asked about Poroshenko, the ex-president’s profile is not displayed in the list of people who are hiding from the Ukrainian authorities.
At the same time, during the meeting, the prosecutor’s office asked the court to arrest Poroshenko for two months in the case of treason, providing for the possibility of posting a bail of $35.7 million. The prosecution also asks the court to oblige Poroshenko 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, as announced on December 20, 2021 by the State Bureau of Investigation of the country. We are talking about the investigation against Poroshenko of the case of the supply of coal from the territories of Donbass. 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.
However, at the moment when the SBI officers handed Poroshenko a summons on the case, the politician ignored the security forces and left. He then left the country and headed for Poland. The politician himself promised to return to Ukraine at the beginning of 2022 and give “answers to all questions – both regarding high treason and regarding the financing of terrorism.”
On January 6, it was reported that a court in Kiev had seized all of Poroshenko’s property. On January 12, the Pechersky District Court of Kiev allowed Poroshenko to be detained for forced delivery to a court session to select a measure of restraint for him.
