The defense of Viktor Yanukovych, the former president of Ukraine intends to appeal to the US State Department of State due to the attempts of the Prosecutor’s Office to suspend it from the court hearing. Vitaly Serdyuk, the advocate of Yanukovych reported this to 112 Ukraine.
‘Certainly, we will stay at all processes. I draw the attention to the fact that the decision to bring us to the disciplinary responsibility and attempt to revoke the advocate license are the second step of the government. The first step was the artificial suspension from the hearing on December 11 when the whole country watched the questioning of Yatsenyuk and Avakov. The court was told beforehand on the impossibility of the presence at this hearing due to the fact that we were at another hearing and the court decided the intentionally improper decision when the free lawyer was involved. We will appeal to the international organizations, ambassadors and the US State Department with the appeal to pay attention to the illegal situation, the contradiction of the actions of Ukraine with the European and world standards of the justice’, he said.
