The ex-President may participate in the court 18 may, wherever he was.
Obolonskiy district court of Kyiv has granted ex-President Viktor Yanukovych three options the video link with the court, wherever he was at the time of the meeting.
This was reported in the Facebook press Secretary of the Prosecutor General Larisa Sargan, with reference to the representative of state charge, the Prosecutor of military Prosecutor’s office Ruslan Kravchenko.
An appropriate letter of explanation sent to the lawyers of Yanukovych.
According to the Prosecutor, participation in a preparatory court session is assumed to be through international legal assistance, therefore appeal to the state authorities of the Russian Federation is not necessary. In its decision the Obolon district court of Kiev granted the opportunity to ex-President “not attached” to any any of of the Russian courts, nor to any other organs.
“Yanukovych has repeatedly stated his desire to participate in the trial. Here we look at whether these statements are true or simple PR. Today he was given every opportunity to participate in the trial on may 18 in the video, no matter where he was. All now depends on the defence,” added the Prosecutor.
We will remind, Yanukovych accused that on March 1, 2014, staying on the territory of the Russian Federation, he committed treason by submitting a written statement to Russian President Vladimir Putin to use Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine. This subsequently led to the loss of the Crimea and Ukraine of objects of state property amounting to more than 1,080 trillion hryvnia.
