Avakov doubts Rada will strip him of MP’s immunity from prosecution

KHARKIV – MP Arsen
Avakov of the Batkivschyna Party has said he doubts that the Verkhovna
Rada will vote to strip him of his immunity from prosecution, if
requested by the General Prosecutor’s Office.

“At present, I believe it is very unlikely that the General
Prosecutor’s Office will bring such a legal argument to the Verkhovna
Rada. I think it is even less likely that the parliament will vote to
strip me of immunity,” Avakov said at a press conference in Kharkiv on
Saturday.
