No evidence of Boiko's involvement in corruption scheme during purchase of jack-up rigs - PGO

The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine (PGO) has no evidence that the leader of the Opposition Bloc faction in parliament, Yuriy Boiko, is involved in corruption schemes associated with the purchase of two jack-up rigs, B312 and B319, Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko has said.

"Mr. Boiko has not been a suspect since the opening of this criminal case. He was questioned and will be questioned. Now we have no direct evidence of his participation, except for one element when he signed changes to a financial plan... At the moment we have no evidence that he... received funds obtained by criminal means," he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Friday.
