Litwin wants the publicity of the case Tymoshenko

Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Lytvyn hopes for maximum transparency and publicity of a criminal case against former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko on charges of abuse of her official duties at the conclusion of gas contracts with Russia in 2009. He said this after meeting with the chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Mevlut Cavusoglu. "I expect that, given the interest that went beyond the borders of Ukraine on this issue, there will be maximum publicity and maximum effect on the basis of the laws. I think that, by and large, they want everything" - said the speaker. In his opinion, the Attorney General's Office was to provide as much information about the investigation affairs Timoshenko before a May 24 public learned of the decision of Kiev Pechersk district court authorizing the arrest of ex-premier. Head of the Parliament is convinced that this situation should not be used for the purpose of political advertising. "I do not think that it is possible to build a political PR, but if we talk about what happened, then I think - I do not take the direction of the nerves and health - that Julia squeezed maximum political asset for itself," - added Speaker. As reported yesterday, former prime minister has been delayed by a decision of Pechersk District Court for investigation. As stated by the GPU, the decision was based on the fact that the accused for a long time shied away from pre-trial investigations and impede the performance of her investigation. Recall that the GPU brought charges against Yulia Tymoshenko of abuse of office in the preparation of an agreement on deliveries of Russian gas in 2009. Damage to the state caused by the actions of ex-premier, is estimated at more than 1,5 billion UAH. Ministry of Industry
