More Viktor Yanukovych cronies escape justice under Petro Poroshenko. Case in point: Yuriy Ivaniushchenko, then a lawmaker with the Party of Regions led by ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, walks out of the Verkhovna Rada on Dec. 12, 2012. After Yanukovych fled in February 2014, Ivaniushchenko was accused of embezzlement of $82 million in state funds and put on European Union and the U.S. sanctions lists. But a Ukrainian court closed his case and lifted the arrest warrant. After the media outcry, the Prosecutor General’s Office said the case was reopened on June 9 by the Specialized Higher Court of Ukraine.
