The law enforcement agencies of Italy on Tuesday, May 24, detained Kyiv City Council deputy Viacheslav Suprunenko, a source in Kyiv City Council has told Interfax-Ukraine.
Suprunenko is Kyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky’s son-in-law. According to recent reports in the Ukrainian mass media, he and the mayor’s daughter separated several months ago.
As reported, on April 11, 2011, the Prosecutor General’s Office opened a criminal case against Kyiv City Council Deputy Viacheslav Suprunenko and leader of the Chernovetsky Bloc faction in the council Denys Komarnytsky for committing assault. The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine put Suprunenko on the wanted list, including through Interpol.
In 2008, First Deputy Prosecutor General Renat Kuzmin opened a criminal case due to an assault on lawyer Ivan Hrantsev, a partner of the Corporate Technology law firm, in which Suprunenko and Komarnytsky were involved. The assault occurred on September 2, 2005 in the building of the Kyiv City Bureau of Technical Inventory.
The Segodnia newspaper, citing its own sources, said that the conflict had been triggered by property disputes around the Knyha (Book) printing plant, which is located on Artema Street in Kyiv. However, immediately after the case was opened, Prosecutor General Oleksandr Medvedko issued a resolution cancelling the criminal case against Suprunenko and Komarnytsky.
