Former adviser to Viktor Yanukovych Andriy Portnov has again accused Ukraine's 5th president Petro Poroshenko of high treason.
He published another statement on his YouTube channel.
In a blog post, he claimed that a Ukrainian state company allegedly bought Russian coal from a Panama-registered company controlled by Poroshenko.
He attached a link to a contract for $9 million.
You don't need a higher education to understand that there is no coal in Panama... This is a criminal scheme and theft of state funds, — said Portnov.
The next interrogation of Poroshenko is scheduled for September 3. The SBI reported that he is a witness in three criminal proceedings.
Also, according to Portnov, Panama's prosecutor opened a case against Poroshenko under Article 254 of the Panamanian Criminal Code ("crime against the economic order in the form of money laundering").
In total, Portnov is investigating 12 criminal cases against the 5th president. These include the high treason case and the situation with Ukrainian sailors captured in November 2018.
