The fifth president of Ukraine, MP (the European Solidarity faction) Petro Poroshenko on Tuesday morning again did not come for questioning to the State Bureau of Investigations (SBI), while lawyer Ihor Holovan brought his testimony.
“For some reason, the SBI does not take into account the calendar of plenary meetings of the Verkhovna Rada … They should understand that the work of the parliament is a good reason for not appearing for interrogation,” Holovan told reporters at the SBI on Sept. 10.
He noted that he had brought Poroshenko’s written testimony, but did not specify in what case.
“We’ve submitted Petro Oleksiyovych Poroshenko’s own testimony in the case in which he was summoned,” he said.
The information contained in this testimony has in fact been made public through the media, and whoever studies it would see that “there is nothing behind these proceedings,” Holovan said.
As reported, on September 6 Poroshenko did not come for interrogation to the SBI, according to the lawyer, due to the fact that the summons for the investigative actions was not delivered on time.
State Bureau of Investigations Director Roman Truba said that Poroshenko had been summoned to provide testimony in a criminal case concerning possible interference in the duties of judges of the Kyiv Administrative District Court.
