Yuriy Kirasir, a spokesperson of the son of the former president Oleksandr Yanukovych, said the General Court of the EU has lifted sanctions against former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
“The decision of the European Court dated September 24, 2019 on the lifting of sanctions against former president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych for 2018-2019 is a confirmation of the illegality and groundlessness of their introduction by EU authorities and a significant reason for their speedy complete lifting and rehabilitation of Viktor Yanukovych as a person undeservedly affected by political persecution both in Ukraine and in the European Union,” the speaker noted.
According to Kirasir, “for 5 years, the past Ukrainian authorities and the Prosecutor General’s Office under its control conducted a large-scale campaign to misinform citizens of Ukraine and the international community, without any evidence of Yanukovych’s involvement in various crimes.”
“The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine has officially confirmed that President Yanukovych is not accused of any economic or corruption crime,” the spokesperson said.
It is also known that the decision of the Obolon District court regarding the fugitive President Yanukovych is currently appealing to the appeal court.
In addition, Kirasir said that “Yanukovych’s lawyers will seek criminal prosecution of all those involved in organizing his political prosecution and falsifying cases against him.”
As The Journalist reported, Kyiv court postponed consideration of appeal against Yanukovych’s sentence for a month.
