Saakashvili: U.S. initiated criminal proceedings against Poroshenko

Ex-president of Georgia, the former governor of the Odessa region, Mikhail Saakashvili, claims that criminal charges have been brought against the president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko in the United States.

“As soon as he ceases to be president, he will not be accepted by any country or will given out instantly. In America, he can be imprisoned, like Lazarenko, because the FBI has got a file of cases on him”, Saakashvili said in an interview with the Ukrainian edition of “Strana”, published on Monday.

At the same time, he clarified that the criminal cases allegedly instituted against Poroshenko are related to offshore accounts.
