Ukrinform<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n“After consulting in the chambers, the court decided to return the indictment to the prosecutor for further elaboration,” the judge said.<\/p>\n
In addition, the court extended the detention of Yaroslav Tarasenko and Oleksandr Los, defendants in this case, until Aug. 11.<\/p>\n
During the preparatory court hearing on Wednesday, lawyers of both defendants expressed their request for a return of the indictment to the prosecutor for finalization due to deficiencies in the investigation of all circumstances of the crime allegedly committed by Tarasenko and Los.<\/p>\n
“The indictment clearly does not establish the role of Tarasenko in the murder of Voronenkov,” said lawyer Vladislav Dobosh in court.<\/p>\n
On March 23, 2017, Voronenkov was shot dead near the Premier Palace hotel in Kyiv. The killer was a resident of Sevastopol, Pavlo Parshov.\u00a0The killer shot the former member of parliament four times. Voronenkov died on the spot. The killer was also wounded and died later in the hospital.<\/p>\n
Tarasenko and Los are charged with “intentional murder and complicity in a crime.”<\/p>\n
In addition, on Oct. 9, 2017, Attorney General Yuriy Lutsenko alleged that a Russian citizen and the former common-law husband of\u00a0 Voronenkov’s wife,\u00a0 Vladimir Tyurin, was resposible in organizing the assassination.\u00a0Tyurin\u2019s name is frequently connected to the Russian criminal underworld.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor’s office believes that Tyurin is controlled by the Russian Security Service, and he ordered the murder of Voronenkov in exchange for preferences from the Russian Intelligence Services.<\/p>\n
In 2016, Voronenkov renounced his Russian citizenship and emigrated to Ukraine with his wife. Voronenkov then became a vocal critic of Vladimir Putin and Russian foreign policy.\u00a0\u00a0Although as a member of the State Duma he had voted for Russia’s annexation of Crimea, in Ukraine he argued that the annexation had been illegal.\u00a0\u00a0In early 2017, the\u00a0Investigative Committee of Russia\u00a0opened a case to look into Voronenkov’s suspected corruption, and an investigation by the anti-corruption blogger and\u00a0Russian opposition\u00a0figure,\u00a0Alexei Navalny,\u00a0found that Voronenkov possessed significantly more assets than his officially-declared income would allow.<\/p>\n
Russia has consistently denied any involvement in Mr Voronenkov\u2019s killing.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo from Ukrinform\u2013UATV The Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv returned the indictment …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":382172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36423,36422],"tags":[36961],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-382168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-11473-news-en-3","category-11473-news-en-3","tag-russian-aggression"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
