SBI Summons Poroshenko for Questioning via Facebook and YouTube
The former president ignored previous summonses.
Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigation is conducting a pre-trial investigation into a number of criminal proceedings in which Petro Poroshenko must be questioned as a witness. Messages were repeatedly sent to Petro Poroshenko by summons delivered to his places of residence and work.
Despite this, and his personal assurances that he would appear on January 16 and 17, 2020, Poroshenko ignored the questioning at the SBI. Thus, the former president of Ukraine, who is currently a people's deputy of Ukraine, has repeatedly violated the norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
A repeated message to Poroshenko about the need to appear at the SBI for questioning on January 21 and 24 was sent in an unusual way: via Facebook and YouTube.
The SBI also warns that, according to Articles 139 and 140 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, a witness who fails to appear without valid reasons may be brought in by force.
