Ex-Kharkiv Governor Arrested

Ex-Kharkiv Governor Arrested

18 August 2008

The Prosecutor General Office filed a criminal case against EvgenyKushnariov for ?exceeding his power or office with severe consequences.? However, the PGO said the arrest is not related to separatist acts. Kushnariov is the ex-governor of the Kharkiv oblast, an eastern region of Ukraine boarding on Russia. He headed the Congress of Eastern Regions during the presidential elections, which threatened succeed from Ukraine if current President Viktor Yushchenko won. Concorde Capital: Many believe that most local leaders from the previous regime were involved in legally questionable economic activities, and the new authorities are bent on eradicating relics of the previous system. The only problem is that the criminal cases against the old authorities are carried out in an awkward manner, immediately raising concerns about political vengeance.
