Kozachenko's lawyers named main witnesses for prosecution
The main witnesses for prosecution in criminal case against former Vice Prime Minister for Agriculture Leonid Kozachenko are representatives of current top management of Ukraine's farming industry, the lawyer of the accused ex-official Ihor Usenko has told APK-Inform.
As we have already informed, on September 5 the defendant ex-official and his lawyers signed the protocol about completion of familiarisation with the materials of the criminal case, accusing Kozachenko of office abuse and bribery in especially large scale. On completion of this procedure the appeal was submitted by the lawyers to Prosecutor's General Office about stopping the case due to absence of the fact of crime. On September 10 the Prosecutor's Office declined the appeal and submitted the case to Kiev City Court.
