Shokin named one of the five articles allegedly used against Kuzmin
The General Prosecutor's Office suspects former first deputy prosecutor general Renat Kuzmin of committing a number of serious crimes.
In an interview with Ukrainska Novyna, the head of the GPO, Viktor Shokin, said: "Several criminal cases are being investigated against him for serious crimes. In particular, for committing a crime under part 3 of article 371 of the Criminal Code — this is knowingly illegal detention, bringing, house arrest, or keeping in custody. It provides imprisonment from 5 to 10 years. And this is not the only crime he is suspected of," the attorney general said.
He added that Kuzmin is wanted by the state, and Interpol refused to issue an international wanted notice. At the same time, Shokin did not name 4 articles of the Criminal Code that Kuzmin is accused of.
Meanwhile, as deputy Olena Sotnik wrote earlier on her Facebook, having sent inquiries to the GPO trying to understand why the agency currently does not use the mechanism of foreign (extraterritorial) criminal proceedings for former Interior Minister Vitaliy Zaharchenko, his deputy Viktor Ratushnyak, former deputy prime minister Serhiy Arbuzov, former deputy head of the GPO Renat Kuzmin, and the infamous businessman Serhiy Kurchenko. "Note how information about Kuzmin differs from other responses. And this is despite all inquiries containing the same text and list of questions. In short: there is no information about a formal international wanted notice; moreover, there is an attempt to brush off my demands by citing a provision of law about interference in investigations," Sotnik wrote.
