The lawyer of the former president, Ihor Golovan, has told that he had information that Petro Poroshenko is a witness in two criminal probes, therefore this means no charges have been brought against him. Golovan wrote about this in a blog on Ukrainska Pravda.
In such a way, he responded to the statement of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) Director Roman Truba, who claimed that Poroshenko is allegedly targeted in 11 criminal cases.
“But how exactly is Petro Poroshenko supposed to be aware of those proceedings when Mr Truba’s subordinates provide no relevant information to lawyers, referring to the fact that we do not have the status of defense counsels? It is no surprise, because our client is not in a status of a suspect on any cases, not to mention of those 11 proceedings,” the report says.
As of today, according to lawyer’s data, Poroshenko is a witness in two proceedings.
“It is unlikely that anyone can say that the criminal proceedings are initiated against a witness,” the lawyer said.
