"In part of the question regarding Petro Oleksiyovych and Mrs. Gontareva. It is a difficult issue. Indeed, as of today, we do not disclose other defendants in the interests of the investigation. Taking into account what we have seen, there is another option than to work out the version of the involvement of Mr. Poroshenko and Mrs. Gontareva in this process is simply not there," Bakanov said at a press conference on Friday.

The SBU head said "If the relevant evidence is collected, we will come out to you for another briefing and inform the public about it."
