PGO puts five former members of parliamentary Counting Commission on wanted list

The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine has notified five former members of Verkhovna Rada Counting Commission that they are suspected of violating the law and has put these persons on the wanted list.

During the pre-trial inquiry into the criminal case into parliamentary voting on January 16, 2014, on supporting bills to hamper peaceful rallies [the so-called 'dictatorship laws'], the PGO on February 26, 2015 and March 3, 2015 announced that the following individuals were suspected of the crime of abuse of power and office –former MPs Volodymyr Demydko, Andriy Pinchuk, Stanislav Skubashevsky, Yaroslav Sukhy [Party of Regions], and former Communist Party MP Oleksandr Zubchevsky, the PGO press service has reported.

"Since the aforementioned persons failed to come to the pre-trial investigation service, on March 12, 2015 the investigator declared them as wanted," reads the report issued by the PGO.
