Oligarch Sergei Kurchenko, who fled Ukraine after the wnning of the Maidan, disclaims any criminal case against him, says the prosecutor’s office.

He said this in an interview with RBC, reports Espreso.TV .

“The Attorney General told reporters that he has a criminal case against me. Our lawyer the same day wrote a request and received a response that this criminal case does not exist. The lawyer gave a press conference, but there was no reaction from the government. This seems to be impossible, but it happened”- said Kurchenko.

Recall that in April 2014 the General Prosecutor of Ukraine (GPU) announced that Kurchenko is on the international wanted list.

Earlier, Russian media reported that the billionaire Sergei Kurchenko, who fled after the fall of Ukraine’s Viktor Yanukovych, is creating a media holding in Crimea.
