Gongadze mother's lawyer won't appeal against Pukach's sentence
Andriy Fedur, the lawyer of Lesia Gongadze, the mother of murdered journalist Georgy Gongadze, is unlikely to appeal against the decision of Kyiv's Pechersky District Court to find former chief of the external surveillance department of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, Oleksiy Pukach, guilty of killing Gongadze and sentence him to life in prison.
Fedur stated that he believes that the trial of Pukach was fair and unbiased.
"I won't appeal, as I believe that the trial on the case was fair an unbiased," he said on Tuesday.
At the same time, the lawyer noted that the court did not consider all of the possible motives of Pukach.
"I am skeptical about the verdict to some extent. During the trial I did not understand the motive for Pukach's actions – did he want to kill Gongadze for his own reasons, or did someone order him to commit this murder… I think the court did not consider this situation in full," the lawyer said.
