Duka was brought into the courtroom. He did not answer journalists' questions at first, but then stated that prosecutor Karas is deliberately delaying consideration of the motion to impose a preventive measure.
Earlier the prosecutor accused the defendant's defense of doing this. He challenged Judge Voronko for excluding journalists and stated that the defense is trying to delay the hearing. According to the prosecutor, the defense requested a closed hearing, citing an SBU letter to the court about an alleged threat of a terrorist act. However, the prosecutor was not given the opportunity to review this document.
The prosecutor does not rule out that tomorrow, when three days will have passed since the arrest and in 13:00 the period during which Duka must be placed in custody will expire if a preventive measure has not been chosen for him by that time, the SBU may attempt to use force to “take him back” and continue hiding him from the investigation and the court.
Recall that on the day of the arrest, SBU head Poklad dismissed General Duka.
