Jailed Ukraine ex-PM Tymoshenko suspected in long-dormant murder case
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | January 21, 2013 11:53Ukrainian authorities have formally notified jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko that she is a suspect in the murder of a businessman and lawmaker in 1996.
The Prosecutor General’s Office said on its website Friday that Tymoshenko is suspected of “ordering and organizing” the contract-style murder of Yvhen Scherban, his wife and two other people.
Tymoshenko denies the accusations and says it is part of a broader campaign by her foe, President Viktor Yanukovych, to keep her in prison and bar her from politics.
Tymoshenko is serving a seven-year prison term for abuse of office while negotiating a gas deal with Russia in 2009.
