Treason is punishable by 12 years in prison and full confiscation of property.
A case of high treason Viktor Yanukovych in the near future, after several important investigations will be reclassified in the indictment that will be presented in absentia to former President. This was stated by Prosecutor General Yury Lutsenko live “1+1”.
“We have used the fact that Yanukovych at a press conference on Friday he said that he signed a letter on the introduction of Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine. This gave us the opportunity for 2 days to prepare the text of a suspicion and I personally explain this suspicion Yanukovych live. I can say that this case looks the most promising, it will be a small number of documents. At least compare with the case of Ukraine, where 1.5 thousand volumes, which received the result. In order to only to see the defense will have at least 2 years, according to the standards that are in Europe. And it is unacceptable for the country. Because, from my point of view, justice is a quick punishment, it’s a quick court,” he said.
As noted by Lutsenko, treason is punishable by 12 years in prison and full confiscation of property.
“I want to stress that Yanukovych is accused of treason in the same criminal proceedings in which the military Prosecutor’s office suspects Russian defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, along with 20 generals and admirals of the Armed forces of Russia in waging aggressive war, violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. He signed the letter with the request to enter the territory of our country, the contingent of the Russian armed forces, as the UN has declared Russia’s representative Churkin to the whole world. If there’s going to be no more than 10-20 volumes in the first quarter of 2017, a Ukrainian court in absentia will be able to proceed to the consideration of this matter,” he said.
The attorney General said that the punishment of an organized criminal group of Yanukovych is a key issue for the prosecution.
“According to the experts, Yanukovych and company stole one of the country’s annual budget. Not giving a legal evaluation, not arrested them and confiscated money, including in Ukraine, and it is 1, 5 billion dollars, we cannot say that the Prosecutor’s office was better. So for me the question of a Declaration of suspicion to the former President Yanukovych, case concerning the events during peaceful protests on the Maidan, is the first priority that you want to keep a record of the society,” – said Lutsenko.
