In early February 2005, there were reports that a few months ago could dream of the second President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma, who ruled the country for ten years in a row, only in a terrible dream. They wrote that in the near future he could be arrested - this was insisted by a number of people's deputies of the Verkhovna Rada .. At the same time, the General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine received deputy requests regarding the possibility of initiating criminal proceedings against Leonid Kuchma and taking the ex-president into custody .. The former Ukrainian leader was suspected of organizing the abduction of the opposition journalist Georgy Gongadze in 2000 . The Prosecutor General of Ukraine Sviatoslav Piskun even reported on the possible summoning of Leonid Kuchma for questioning in this case, and some analysts did not rule out that the interrogation could turn into an arrest (however, he came to the prosecutor’s office himself, and he was not arrested). Deputies also suspected the ex-president of illegal wiretapping, accepting bribes, abuse of power, aiding individual civil servants in misappropriating funds in especially large amounts and laundering them. And he himself, according to deputies, during the years of rule he became a far from poor person .. For example, he allegedly owns a yacht worth 3 million. After the 2004 elections, statements were made that history would still give fair, different from today's rumor, assessments to President Kuchma. But it would be worth it today to try to figure out what kind of person he is and how he came to his current result ..
