“I can neither confirm nor deny it. I will tell you this: some things can happen as secretly as possible in order not to harm the investigation and certain procedural actions,” he said.

According to preliminary information, NABU officers detained the official in a Kyiv restaurant in the city centre.

“I confirm that my place was searched in connection with a case I have nothing to do with. I have fulfilled all the requirements of law enforcement officers, and there are no complaints against me personally,” Tymoshenko wrote.
