Opposition Bloc MP Nestor Shufrych arrived at the building of the Prosecutor General's Office for an interrogation on November 8 instead of November 14 and gave testimony.

"Given the certain outcry caused by a report about the need to interrogate me as a witness, my lawyer agreed with the investigator. I arrived at the Prosecutor General's Office today [on November 8] at 13.50, gave evidence and left the PGO building at 14.30," Shufrych wrote on his Facebook page.

He said that the investigator had ordered him to "refrain from commenting on the subject of the interrogation."

As reported, a summons calling Shufrych for questioning on November 14 as a witness in criminal case No. 42014100000000209 was published the official website of the Prosecutor General's Office.

Head of the PGO's Department of Special Investigations Serhiy Horbatiuk, in turn, said that Shufrych was being summoned in connection with threats made by former First Presidential Administration Head Andriy Portnov against former Party of Regions deputy Inna Bohoslovska.

Horbatiuk said that the reason for publishing the summons notice was that Shufrych has previously failed to arrive for interrogation.

As reported, on February 18, 2014, threats "were conveyed from a telephone belonging to Portnov to a telephone belonging to Bohoslovska regarding deputy activities and the active political position of a state functionary."
