Former head of the State Agency for Investment and
National Projects of Ukraine Vladyslav Kaskiv has been detained by Panamanian
law enforcement authorities, Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko said.
"We've just got a message about the arrest of Mr.
Kaskiv in Panama, who is suspected by us and is on the international wanted
list under Article 191 (theft) and other malfeasance," he stated. Lutsenko
also said an investigation was underway and important information had been
received on a number of other cases.
"We have questioned Mr. Zlochevskiy (former
Ecology Minister), and this was one of the points during my visit to Israel.
Those who had been previously detained and had been in jail in the town of
Kramatorsk, provided good testimony for the case against Oleksandr Yefremov
(former Regions Party faction head). Now they will come to the detention center
in Kyiv and will work with investigators on this great case," he said.
The prosecutor general also said that the
investigators "had found sensational things during searches at the
apartment used by former Defense Minister Pavlo Lebedev," and promised to
announce them in the near future within the framework of the publication of
information in the Ilovaisk case.
In addition, he referred to the investigation into the
shooting of people by Berkut on the Maidan and said that around 15 people had
already been convicted full-time or part-time and decisions regarding the
transfer of the case in court would be taken in the near future.
As UNIAN reported earlier, on March 25, Ukrainian
Interior Minister Arsen Avakov announced that Kaskiv had been put on the wanted
list.
