KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s imprisoned former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko went on trial Monday on charges of evading several million dollars in taxes 15 years ago, despite strong Western protests against the prosecution of the country’s top opposition leader.
Tymoshenko, 51, is already serving a seven-year sentence on charges of abuse of office and is the subject of a slew of other criminal investigations, including a murder case.
