Charges Brought Against Former Interior Minister of Ukraine

The Ukrainian Prosecutor General's office completed its investigation related to, and brought charges against, Yuriy Lutsenko, who in 2005-2010 was the Interior Minister of Ukraine. The ex-Minister is charged with “large-scale embezzlement of state property through the abuse of office.” Reportedly, the charges are based on the alleged assignment of an extra pension payment of UAH 40,000 ($5,000) to the Minister’s driver. Lutsenko said that he believed that the criminal case was opened against him as "a result of his political and police activities."
