U.S. Department of Justice not to meet with Onyschenko
The U.S. Department of Justice has said that the department is not planning to meet fugitive Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Onyschenko.
In the usual conditions the U.S. Department of Justice and law enforcement agencies are ready to meet people who claim they have evidence of violation of U.S. legislation, the department said. The fact of the meeting does not prove that the legislation was violated or information is adequate. The department said that it does not have any plans to hold meetings with Onyschenko.
Onyschenko is suspected of organizing a criminal scheme to embezzle funds for the extraction and sale of natural gas involving activities of PJSC Ukrgazvydobuvannia, resulting in the loss of UAH 3 billion.
Ukraine's parliament voted to bring Onyschenko to justice, as well as to detain and arrest him. However, on the eve of the vote, Onyschenko fled Ukraine. He was put in the wanted list on August 8.
Early December Onyschenko claimed to have turned over compromising materials on Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to the U.S. government.
