Ukraine - court drops charge linking Leonid Kuchma to murder of Gerogiy Gongadze

Published on Dec 14, 2011 by Euronews

http://www.euronews.net/ A Ukrainian court has dismissed a charge against former President Leonid Kuchma of involvement in the murder of an opposition journalist twelve years ago on the grounds that secretly taped audio recordings were inadmissable.

It ruled the tapes had been acquired by illegal means and could not constitute acceptable evidence.

The prosecution had claimed one of the recordings indicated Kuchma had told officials to "deal with" Gerogiy Gongadze.

Myroslava Gongadze's husband Georgiy Gongadze, an investigative reporter on government corruption, had been kidnapped in September 2000; two months later his decapitated body was found lying in a forest outside Kiev. Leaked secret recordings linked then-President Leonid Kuchma and other top officials to the homicide, who are heard discussing ways to silence the muckraking journalist. But the tapes' authenticity was questioned, and none of the individuals on the recordings were ever brought to court.
