"Against the background of recent speculations, the British Fraud Investigation Office (SFO) confirms that it is not conducting an investigation against President Poroshenko," a Twitter report said.

Earlier, the presidential candidate of Ukraine, head of the Batkivshchyna party, Yulia Tymoshenko, said that the EU had launched an anti-corruption investigation against Poroshenko. According to her, they are engaged in the European Anti-Fraud and Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and the British SFO.

Later in the OLAF, Tymoshenko’s statement was denied, and Poroshenko’s campaign headquarters demanded an apology from her.
