BYuT leader Yulia Tymoshenko arrived at the main investigative department of the Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) on Wednesday, May 12, where, she said she expected to be handed a writ on the opening of a criminal case against her.
An Interfax-Ukraine reporter said that Tymoshenko had arrived in the building of the main investigative department under a summons, which she showed to journalists. The summons indicates the number of a criminal case under which she had been called to the prosecutor’s office, without specifying which criminal case is in question.
"Since the Prosecutor General’s Office is conducting a pre-trial investigation on criminal case No. 49-1293, investigator for particularly important cases invited me to personally receive a writ on the opening of a criminal case," Tymoshenko told journalists, while entering the building of the main investigative department of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
BYT MP Andriy Senchenko said earlier he did not rule out that the summons to the PGO had been linked to the possibility of the resumption of the investigation of a criminal case opened against Tymoshenko under former President Leonid Kuchma.
