The U.S. attorney in the criminal case against Ukraine's former Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko, Martha Boersch, has stressed that the U.S. court has found insufficient the evidence of the allegations of financial fraud relating to former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko as a part of Lazarenko's case.

Speaking on Saturday evening on the Ukrainian Inter TV Channel, Boersch said that the prosecution had the evidence that companies controlled by Tymoshenko took part in the schemes for transferring money to Lazarenko's accounts.

"We had the evidence that we presented in court. These were bank statements. We believed these to be sufficient evidence of financial and bank transfers, in which Lazarenko and Tymoshenko took part. But the evidence was insufficient, and the court rejected it," Boerscht said.

When asked whether the U.S. court had political reasons for this decision, she said: "No, it was not politically motivated and could not be so... The judge dismissed the charges in relation to Tymoshenko, which involved fraud with bank transfers, since it decided that the prosecution provided insufficient evidence to confirm these schemes."

The ex-attorney also said she had no information regarding the possible involvement of Tymoshenko into the contract murders of a prominent politician, Yevhen Scherban, and an influential financier, Vadym Hetman.

"I've seen the press reports on this topic. I cannot recall any evidence of this, save press reports, which contained references to the testimony of witnesses. If the Prosecutor General's Office has further evidence, I am not familiar with it," Boersch said.

At present, Boersch doesn't work in the U.S. Department of Justice.
