Ukraine to check PM Tymoshenko for illegal activity
17:14 | 21/ 08/ 2008
KIEV, August 21 (RIA Novosti) - Ukraine's security service has been given
presidential instructions to check the government - right up to Prime
Minister Yulia Tymoshenko - for any activity that could "harm the country's
national interests," the UNIAN news agency reported Thursday.
Top security officials have already sent relevant inquiries to the Cabinet,
and to foreign reconnaissance and law enforcement agencies.
The collected data will be processed thoroughly under the law on Ukraine's
security service, the news agency said. If the trawl uncovers evidence that
Ukrainian government officials have carried out illegal activities, the
material will be sent to the country's top prosecutors.
Andrey Kislinsky, deputy head of Ukraine's presidential administration, said
Monday that documents would be submitted to the police to check whether the
prime minister's actions could be classified as state treason or political
corruption.
Kislinsky said Russian authorities were considering supporting Tymoshenko
for president due to her passive stance on Russia's conflict with Georgia
over its breakaway republic of South Ossetia.
Tymoshenko has denied working to harm Ukraine's national interest.
