Acting Prosecutor General Serhiy Vynokurov received an instruction from President Viktor Yushchenko to urgently close the case opened against former National Security and Defense Council Secretary Petro Poroshenko.
This was stated by the head of the election headquarters of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, former SBU chairman Oleksandr Turchynov, according to the BYuT press service.
Citing reliable sources, Turchynov reported that Vynokurov received this instruction on Wednesday.
According to Turchynov, after a conversation with the president, the acting prosecutor general has already convened the investigative group that was handling the "Poroshenko case" and gave an order to prepare the transfer of documents in this case.
In Turchynov's opinion, the criminal case against Poroshenko could be "quietly closed as early as today or tomorrow."
