Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Pshonka met with 12 MPs from the BYT-Batkivschyna faction on Wednesday, the media liaisons department of the Prosecutor General's Office has reported.
The MPs asked several questions, in particular, about the terms of the receipt of their requests and responses concerning the legality of opening criminal cases against former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, the possible cancellation of a ban on her travel and the granting of permission to her to attend the PACE session in Strasbourg on June 22-25.
The MPs were also interested in the course of a pre-trial investigation in some criminal cases that are being investigated by law enforcement agencies in certain regions, in particular, Ternopil, Cherkasy, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.
"All of the appeals and requests from the deputies that came to Prosecutor General’s Office have currently been considered, in line with the law, and answers by competent officials have been provided," reads the report.
Pshonka said at the meeting that all political forces, international public and human rights institutions had to respect the rule of law and refrain from making categorical statements about the course and consequences of anti-corruption investigations until decisions on cases are made by the judicial authorities.
He again said that there was no selective use of law in Ukraine.
"Thousands of officials both from the previous and current government are called to account for committing crimes while in office, including self-serving and corrupt crimes," Pshonka said.
