Previous Prime Minister.
And I'm not 100% sure the charges are totally trumped up.
Not that it changes anything.
- yazmeya 13y agoEven if the charges aren't all trumped up, Tymoshenko was singled out for prosecution for her politics, without a doubt. With corruption as rampant as it is, there's a criminal case waiting to be made against practically anyone in a position of power in Ukraine.
- dmytrish 13y agoYes, Tymoshenko is not an angel by any means, but her conviction was clearly a political act to frighten other possible rivals with selective justice. Also, this was a great deal to gain some Putin's favor.
