In response to the question whether he expects to be released before the end of 2012, Lutsenko said no.
"Parole is a competence of administration of the penitentiary facility. According to the article I was processed and sentenced, early release is possible only after servicing three quarters of the term. Hence, this does not give me a possibility to live free and to be cured in 2012," he said.
"Just in case I want to say I will not write any pardon appeals that excite so much the imagination of the Mezhyhiria mafia," Lutsenko added.
Lutsenko also declared that he did not hold any talks to obtain a conditional sentence. "Neither I nor my defense team had any contacts with the Prosecutor General's Office. But that statement by Renat Kuzmin (deputy prosecutor general - ed.) about my partial admission of guilt, which I never gave, was some kind of a proposition to cave in to the authorities and to get parole," Lutsenko said.
In response to the question about confiscation of ршы possessions, Lutsenko said he owns a small deposit in Sberbank and the fifth part of his father's four-room apartment in Rivne. "I believe my brother should get ready to share a kitchen with the Prosecutor General. :)," he added.
"The prosecution also believes that the car Toyota I was using also falls under confiscation. But this car was bought in an automobile showroom under the name of my wife. I don't know whether it is an obstacle for the confiscation. The blind says: We will see," Lutsenko summed up.
