The official has responded emphatically to allegations that public money has gone missing, and accused the previous government of having a case to answer.
The Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine,Borys Kolesnikov, has reacted with fury to accusations that his government embezzled €3.15 billion (£2.55bn) of Euro 2012 funding, and insists he will take Yulia Tymoshenko’s former regime to court to prove they were guilty of corruption after winning the bid to host the tournament.
Ostap Semerak, a member of the shadow cabinet, told Goal.com that up to 40 per cent of the tournament budget has disappeared and claimed that under Kolesnikov, the man with responsibility for Euro 2012, contracts have been awarded without a tender process to companies that have been accomplices in embezzlement.
