KYIV. Feb 21 (Interfax) - Ukrainian investigators will establish whether people's deputies were involved in separatist activities, Ukraine's Prosecutor General Yuri Lutsenko said.
"Only the surnames of those who paid Moscow's money and those who received it have been established to date. Further investigation will give an answer regarding whether current Ukrainian people's deputies were involved in this," Lutsenko said during a joint briefing with the head of Ukraine's Security Service, Vasyl Hrytsak, in Kyiv on Tuesday.
If deputies' aides participated in Russia-organized separatist events, that does not mean a people's deputy did so too, he said. "So far we can talk about [deputies'] moral responsibility for the quality of the aides selected," Lutsenko said.
"With regard to members of the groups that collaborated with Russian Federation special services," most likely they will be placed under house arrest, he also said.
"Court-sanctioned searches were carried out yesterday, and each one of these people will get an appropriate degree of restraining measure. In most cases it will be a house arrest," the prosecutor general said.
