The Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) intends to appeal the ruling of the Kyiv Dniprovsky District Court, which orders the cancellation of the ruling on the search, arrest and delivery to the court of the former People's Deputy from the Party of Regions, businessman Yuriy Ivaniuschenko.

"Indeed, there is a ruling of Dniprovsky Court judge Chaus dated April 1 to cancel the investigator's decision to put Ivaniuschenko on the wanted list, terminate the investigation, and repeal the court resolution for the arrest and delivery to the court of Ivaniuschenko. The criminal proceedings, of course, have not been closed ... Yuriy Ivaniuschenko is still suspected of committing a crime under Part 5 of Article 191," the head of the PGO special investigations department, Serhiy Horbatiuk, said on the air of 112 Ukraine TV Channel.

The PGO said the court ruling is illegal and announced the intention to appeal against it.

"We will appeal it and take all the measures to resume the search and electing a preventive measure," Horbatiuk said.
