Interpol has denied a request to put former
Prosecutor General of Ukraine Viktor Pshonka on the wanted list allegedly due
to the weakness of the evidence submitted by the competent authorities of
Ukraine, the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine has said.
"[Interpol] denied the request concerning
Pshonka as regards economic crimes, where he is suspected of taking possession
of the funds intended for the construction of the building of the Prosecutor
General's Office," Head of the Special Investigations Unit of the Main
Investigation Department of the PGO Serhiy Horbatiuk told journalists in Kyiv
on Friday.
When asked how Interpol explained its refusal,
the representative of the Prosecutor General's Office said: "They believe
that the suspicions are allegedly unconvincing... that they are not getting
enough evidence. They did not ask for it. This would be one thing if they said:
'Give us the evidence', and having examined it said that it was not enough. But
they didn't ask for it. They do not have such authority to demand
evidence," Horbatiuk said.
