Ukraine, arrested the former Prime Minister Tymoshenko The prosecutor: "Only when questioned"

Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Julia Tymoshenko Yulia Tymoshenko was arrested and accompanied in court by the police on the orders of the district court of Pechersky. Was reported by the same party was pasionaria of the Orange Revolution. The deputy prosecutor of Kiev, Renat Kuzmin has stated that it is just a forced interrogation and that Timoshenko will be freed after a hearing in the investigation that appears to be guilty of abuse of office related to contracts for the supply Russian gas in 2009.

"When done, can go home," he also assured the Attorney General Oleh Puskar, quoted by the newspaper Kyivpost. The arrest, he explained, was necessary because the opposition leader "he was boycotting the investigation" by failing to respond to earlier invitations. "Strange things happen," said a friend of the Kyivpost Tymoshenko, Hryhory Nemyria, "For the first time it was forbidden to parliamentarians, the security staff and the press to join with her in the office of the prosecutor." Timoshenko has become the subject of three investigations after returning to the presidency of his foe Viktor Yanukovich, whom she continues to show as inspiration for a "judicial persecution" of opposition to stop and to participate in parliamentary elections next year.

The final strand concerns the signing in Moscow with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in January 2009, the contract for the supply of Russian gas to Ukraine after a gas war with two weeks left in the cold half of Europe. The then Prime Minister Timoshenko, according to the prosecution, would accept a disadvantageous contract for his country, with a loss of over 1.5 billion UAH (EUR 131 million) on 15 December, however, the attorney general has imposed a residence requirement as part of an investigation which is suspected of embezzling funds earmarked for the Kyoto Protocol.

Last May, finally, 'Julia' had also come under the scrutiny of another investigation on charges of attempted bribery of the Supreme Court in 2003 for trying to pay a bribe to free some of his old associates.
