Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office Opens Another Case Against Poroshenko
Ukrainian special anti-corruption prosecutor’s office has opened a criminal case against the former president, Pyotr Poroshenko, and a number of other top officials over abuse of office, TASS reports.
"The decision has been made and information entered to the unified register of pre-trial investigations," the anti-corruption prosecutor’s office said on its Facebook page.
The affair concerns the appointment of officials in one of the leading electric power producers in Ukraine, Tsentrenergo.
The anti-corruption prosecutor’s office suspects that the energy company was defrauded of $228 million. If found guilty, those responsible may face a prison term of five to eight years and stripped of the right to take certain jobs.
Earlier, the State Bureau of Investigation opened a criminal case against Poroshenko over the Kerch Strait incident.
