A court in Kyiv ordered to arrest former State Customs Service head Anatoii Makarenko on “criminal negligence” charges. Makarenko is accused of illegal customs-clearance of 11 bln cubic meters of natural gas that was seized from Swiss trader RosUkrEnergo and passed to Ukrainian state-run Naftagas; as a result, a Stockholm arbitration tribunal gave RosUkrEnergo a damages award against Naftagas for that amount of gas. Investigators believe Makarenko acted upon a governmental order. Then-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko denies any wrongdoing and says the criminal prosecution is “political repression” initiated by now-President Viktor Yanukovich, who is allegedly associated with RosUkrEnergo owners.
