Inquiry into murders on Maidan to end on March 1 – Prosecutor General's Office

The investigation into the cases involving the crimes during the Revolution of Dignity in 2013-2014 on the Maidan (Independence Square) in Kyiv will end on March 1, Chief of the Special Investigation Directorate of the Main Investigation Department under Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) Serhiy Horbatiuk has said.

"On March 1, the investigation of cases (the crimes committed on the Maidan) will stop," Horbatiuk said during the round table on the inquiry into the crimes against the participants of the Revolution of Dignity on Friday.

He recalled that he warned of such a possibility, but the Verkhovna Rada closed its session without passing the amendments to the law on the State Bureau of Investigation. And the next meeting of parliament will be held on March 15.

In February, the Prosecutor General Prosecutor of Ukraine urged the Verkhovna Rada to postpone the entry into force of the law on the State Bureau of Investigation, in order to prevent a critical situation with the investigation of the Maidan murder cases.
