Deputy Prosecutor General Mykola Holomsha said this in an interview with the Ukraina Moloda newspaper. “The work abroad has been done. Some research works must be also done by experts in Ukraine too. We will have to hold a series of investigative actions then,” he said. He said the experts in Ukraine must check the questions concerning the place and conditions of the record, technical devices, voices and other things. As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Prosecutor General’s Office has said it expects to receive findings from foreign experts on Melnychenko’s tapes in June. President Viktor Yuschenko instructed the Cabinet of Ministers on February 4 to allocate money to the Prosecutor-General’s Office for financing expert analysis of the Melnychenko tapes. In late December 2008, European experts began phonoscopic examination of the originals of the tapes of the former officer of the presidential guard, Mykola Melnychenko, concerning circumstances of the murder of journalist Gongadze. Gongadze disappeared on September 16, 2000. His headless body was later found in the woods near Kyiv. |
