Kyiv's Pechersky District Court has decided to invite former Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Turchynov and former Deputy Interior Minister Hennadiy Moskal as witnesses in the criminal case opened against former Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko.

An Interfax-Ukraine reporter said that the court had satisfied a respective petition lodged by prosecutors.

The court announced a break in its session until 10.00 on Thursday, Feb. 9.

The court rejected the request by Lutsenko and his defense lawyers to invite a dozen witnesses, satisfying only a petition to invite Halyna Ilchuk, an expert from the Kyiv Research Institute of Forensic Examinations.
