The defense of the fifth president accused the SBU of putting pressure on the court, as a hearing on their client's case is scheduled for today.
Petro Poroshenko's lawyer Igor Golovan said that the testimony Viktor Medvedchuk's involvement of the fifth president of Ukraine in the purchase of gas by L/DNR militants and the withdrawal of the Samara-Western direction oil pipeline from state ownership is a “PR campaign by the Security Service of Ukraine.” He told about it to “Public”.
“In our opinion, what the SBU is doing is exclusively PR. First, it is not their business, the DBR should do it. And what the SBU says about it confirms that there is nothing to do with the truth and the law. “, – Golovan stressed.
He believes that Medvedchuk's testimony was made public only through court hearings in Poroshenko's case.
“A court hearing on the seizure of Petro Poroshenko's property is scheduled for today. This is normal pressure on the court,” the lawyer concluded.
