Rada gives its consent to MP Dobkin's prosecution, detention and arrest
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has granted three requests by Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko about giving its consent to the prosecution, detention and arrest of lawmaker from the Opposition Block faction Mykhailo Dobkin.
Dobkin's prosecution was supported by 288 lawmakers, his detention by 250 MPs, his arrest by 242 MPs at a plenary session on Thursday, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reported.
According to the prosecutor general, having conspired with a group of people Dobkin abused his office of head of Kharkiv City Council in the interests of third parties thus committing a criminal offense.
The prosecutor general also noted that a preliminary investigation into his actions continues. "An objective, unbiased and rather extensive investigation into the land fraud continues," Lutsenko said.
