The choice of a measure of restraint for ex-president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko suggests that the court confirmed the legality and validity of suspicions of treason. This was announced on Wednesday, January 19, by the Prosecutor General of the country, Irina Venediktova, in her appeal, published on her Facebook page.
Earlier that day, the Pechersky District Court in Kiev ruled to oblige Poroshenko to appear at the first request to the investigator for two months, and also forbade the ex-president to leave the country and the Kiev region. Poroshenko is being tried as a suspect in the treason case.
“What does today’s court decision on the choice of a measure of restraint for the people’s deputy, the fifth president of Ukraine mean? It means that the court confirmed the legitimacy and validity of this suspicion, the procedure for reporting it, as well as the existence of risks, to prevent which the prosecutor’s office went with the choice of a preventive measure, ”said Venediktova.
The politician himself was dissatisfied with the decision of the court and announced his intention to appeal it. At the same time, he stressed that the “crazy scenario” of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is not over yet. Poroshenko also threatened to “slam the piano lid” on Zelensky.
At the same time, the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) of Ukraine stated that it was not satisfied with the court’s decision and was appealing against it.
Poroshenko is a defendant in a criminal case on treason due to coal supplies from Donbass in 2014. In December, the State Bureau of Investigation tried to give him a suspicion, but the politician disappeared and left Ukraine. On January 17, Poroshenko returned from Poland to Kiev.
