The GPU summons Yanukovych, Azarov and Arbusov for questioning in a corruption case
The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine announced summonses for questioning of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, former prime minister Mykola Azarov and other former Ukrainian officials or their family members.
According to the GPU website, the questionings are scheduled for 17 November. The announcement says the questionings are linked to a criminal proceeding concerning “the creation of a criminal organization,” “embezzlement, misappropriation of property or seizure of it through abuse of official position,” “legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime,” “sham entrepreneurship” and other articles.
Also being summoned are Mykola Azarov’s son, former MP Oleksiy Azarov, former NBU head and ex-first deputy prime minister Serhiy Arbuzov, former Minister of Fuel and Energy Eduard Stavytskyi, former head of the Cherkasy Regional State Administration Serhiy Tulub, former chairman of the management board of NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine and current MP Yevhen Bakulin and his daughter Svitlana.
Viktor Yanukovych, like most members of his team, fled Ukraine in February 2014 after the mass shootings of protesters on Independence Square in Kyiv. The former president, who is accused of seizing state power in 2010, is also, together with several people linked to his regime, a subject of several criminal cases. These concern abuse of official powers, creation of a criminal organization, embezzlement, misappropriation of property, and so on.
