PACE demands to investigate Kuchma's crimes

PACE introduces a motion on investigation of crime committed by Kuchma's regime. New Ukrainian power should conduct thoroughly investigations of crimes committed by high officials under Kuchma.

Fifteen PACE delegates have introduced the draft resolution "The Investigations of Crimes Allegedly Committed by High Officials under Kuchma." Among others the draft resolution was signed by Hanne Severinsen PACE Ukrainian Monitoring Committee and Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrrenberger PACE Reporter on Gongadze's case.

In particular, the document pointed out that "ten-year Kuchma's regime was tainted by numerous accusations of corruption and bribery on the highest level, persecution of the journalists who criticized the regime as Georgy Gongadze did, and political opponents."

PACE participants mentioned that it is concerned not only Gongadze's case but Alexander Elyashkevich’s attempt and Alexander Podolsky's assault.
