You're reading: Ukrainian parliamentary commission demands inquiry into Yushchenko’s poisoning

Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada provisional inquiry commission probing the poisoning of Viktor Yushchenko in 2004, when he was a presidential candidate, demanded that the Prosecutor General's Office and the Security Service launch a criminal case over falsification of the dioxin poisoning of Yuschenko.

The commission also demands the sacking of Halyna Klymovych, the
head of the Prosecutor General’s Office inquiry group investigating the
Yuschenko poisoning, the commission’s press office said.

Klymovych’s group is investigating only one theory, according to
which Yushchenko was poisoned in November 2004, the commission said. At
the same time, there is enough evidence that proves manipulations with
Yushchenko’s blood tests, the commission said.
