The Pechersk District Court scheduled a hearing on the day of Poroshenko's return to Ukraine, January 17. This was reported by the State Bureau of Investigation.
It is known that the former president of the country will arrive at 9:00 a.m., and by 11:00 a.m. the meeting will begin.
As the press service of the GBR reports, the investigator demands that the leader of the opposition and the head of the party "European Solidarity" be detained.
"The fifth president of Ukraine's evasion of the suspect's procedural obligations and appearance in court can be considered one of the risks, which gives the investigative judge the basis for a decision to apply the most severe repressive measures," the agency reports.
Prosecutors demand arrest with an alternative bail of 1 billion hryvnias.
Formerly ElitExpert писал that Poroshenko advised the Ukrainian authorities not to frighten him with his arrest.
