Kyiv's Pechersky District Court has announced a break until Nov. 9 in its hearings of the criminal case opened against former Ukrainian Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko.

An Interfax-Ukraine reporter said that three witnesses who received subpoenas were questioned at the court hearings on Monday.

In particular, two witnesses – employees of the Interior Ministry’s car fleet department – Volodymyr Brukhansky and Oleksandr Levchuk, gave no testimony regarding the essence of charges brought against Lutsenko, saying that they do not know the details of how the former minister’s driver, Leonid Prystupliuk, was hired, as well as how he received an apartment and a pension.

Levchuk also said that he had received a summons to court in the reception room of the current interior minister after a phone call from an employee of the Interior Ministry’s domestic security department.
