He said that some offices have been searched as part of the investigation, in particular the offices of deputy heads of Svoboda All-Ukrainian Union: former deputy prime minister of Ukraine Oleksandr Sych, former MP Oleh Pankevych, and head of the party court Ihor Yankiv, but they haven't been questioned.

"They were called for questioning on Friday, on October 16. The investigator is considering the procedure of investigative actions," Horbatiuk said.
