The lawyers stated that the act can not be considered on the merits, because it is subject to return. This was during the court session, said the lawyer Igor Fedorenko.
According to him, his client did not receive calls to court and received no suspicion in writing. At the same time, another Yanukovych lawyer Vitaly Serdyuk said that the indictment was inconsistent, which, in his opinion, is the direct basis for the return of the indictment to the prosecutor.
After that, the judge declared a break in the examination of the case of high treason until June 16, 2017.
Recall, as reported URA-Inform, Yanukovych's defense in the case of the former president of Ukraine's state membership refused to participate in the trial of the jury.
