“There is a whole range of evidence where Parubiy takes part in organizing mass riots, but the investigation, and I told investigators yesterday, is getting away from this issue,” the lawyer said in an interview with 112 Ukraine TV channel.
According to him, the Speaker of the Rada was interrogated only once “for formality”.
Portnov stressed that law enforcement agencies should more carefully analyze the location, movements and contacts of Parubiya during the events of 2014.
"Next - look at him from the point of view of his retrospectives and his further actions, look at the events of May 2, when there was a penalty in the Odessa House of Trade Unions ... Paruby and there took one of the main parts," said a former adviser to Yanukovych.
Earlier, on the basis of Portnov’s statement, the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine opened a case of treason against former President Poroshenko.
Ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Spiridon Kilinkarov, in an interview with NSN, said that Portnov, as a citizen of Ukraine, has a full right to this.
