The League reported this with reference to the leader of the VO “Svoboda” Oleg Tyagnibok.
“Already in the corridors of the Main Investigation Department, I learned that suspicion had been announced against Igor Shvaika and Yuri Sirotyuk,” Tyagnibok said.
At the same time, Tyagnibok found it difficult to answer what further investigative actions will be taken against his associates: he does not know whether there will be a trial right away or not.
The politician also said that he does not know what exactly his party members are accused of.
In turn, Shvaika said on Twitter that he was suspected of committing a crime under the article “participation in mass riots if they resulted in the death of people or other serious consequences.”
Ex-Minister Schweik wrote on Twitter, that this Monday the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv will decide whether to authorize his arrest.
