Prosecutor General's Office replaces Tymoshenko's lawyers

An investigator of the Prosecutor General's Office has satisfied a petition issued by former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko to allow MPs Serhiy Sas and Serhiy Vlasenko to act as her lawyers in a criminal case opened against her, in place of Bohdan Ferents, despite the fact that this "is delaying the process of familiarization with the materials of a pre-trial investigation," the office told Interfax-Ukraine on Wednesday.
