The Security Service of Ukraine has repeatedly summoned for questioning as witnesses in the “coal case” in which People’s Deputy Viktor Medvedchuk and the fifth President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko appear, ex-Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov, former Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksandr Turchynov, head political council of the party “People’s Front” Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
“The SBU summons Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Oleksandr Turchynov, Arsen Avakov and Maxim Timchenko for interrogation in the so-called” coal case. They pass as witnesses and are called for the purpose of a comprehensive, complete and impartial study of the circumstances of the criminal proceedings,” SBU spokesman Artem Dekhtyarenko told Interfax-Ukraine.
He noted that these witnesses had been summoned for questioning on May 19, but did not appear. “They will be called again. This time on May 30,” the SBU spokesman specified.
As reported, the summons for interrogations were published on the website of the SBU. In them, in particular, it appears that Avakov, Turchynov and Yatsenyuk were summoned by subpoenas for May 19.
In addition, on the same day, DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko was called in for questioning.
