The lawyer himself associates these actions of the prosecutor's office with an attempt to prevent him from disclosing the information at his disposal against a number of current Ukrainian politicians and Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko.
According to the defense lawyer, he intends to provide this data to the Svyatoshinsky District Court of Kyiv, where the Berkut case is being considered.
“Such systematic actions with a specific purpose against me are connected solely with the desire of the GPU to remove from the process a lawyer who has the opportunity to provide the court with evidence of the involvement of today’s leaders of the state and the GPU in the crimes,” Goroshinsky is convinced.
He also recalled that he was “forcibly thrown out” of another trial in the Pechersk court, where he represented the interests of Viktor Yanukovych, and a criminal case was opened.
“There is strong pressure against me from the GPU due to the fact that I am an inconvenient lawyer for them. I have evidence against the current government, against the head of the GPU. And what is happening against me is directly related to the fact that the GPU really needs to bring out a lawyer who speaks, who has information and who has evidence...
The chronology of events that have been taking place over the past month suggests that now the prosecutor’s office, for political reasons, is trying by all means, without paying attention to the requirements of the law or common sense, to remove lawyers who are able to prove to society and the court the truth about who after all, Maidan was shot and who shot the police officers in 2014,” said Goroshinsky.
