Kyiv Court of Appeals has upheld a verdict issued by Kyiv's Pechersky District Court against Ukraine's former Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko, who was sentenced to four years in prison for malfeasance.
The ruling was read out on Wednesday by Judge Ivan Rybak presiding over the appeal proceedings, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reported.
The appeal filed by the ex-minister’s defense lawyers has thus been rejected, and Pechersky District Court ruling fully upheld.
On May 16, the court read out the resolution part of the ruling, without the motivation part.
