Pavel Lazarenko, the former Prime Minister of Ukraine is fighting false charges created by the totalitarian regime in Ukraine.  Pavel Lazarenko broke from the ruling clique and championed a true democratic reform movement in Ukraine.  For this he was driven from Ukraine and now faces criminal charges in the United States.
 
Daniel Horowitz, attorney for Pavel Lazarenko made this statement to Radio Free Europe:
 
"As Ukraine grew towards democracy, Pavel Lazarenko grew with it.  The forces in power under the old soviet regime held on and are now orchestrating a campaign against Pavel Lazarenko."
 
The defense will show that the Ukraine police forces have seized most of the critical documents in this case.  Instead of releasing all of the documents, they have selectively produced those documents which favor their position.  If ever all of the documents are produced they will show that the United States has initiated a prosecution based upon a manufactured, soviet/KGB style propaganda campaign.
 
While the U.S. press is not providing much coverage of this case, the European and East European press is providing full coverage.

Money Laundering charges in this case depend upon a crime being committed in Ukraine.
 
Defense Attorney Horowitz states this to the people of Ukraine.  Pavel Lazarenko committed no crimes in Ukraine.  All funds brought to the United States can be traced to business interests which were honest and well earned but primarily it is the very political funds which were used to support the opposition to Kuchma, which are targeted in this criminal action.
 
Ask yourself this - is it possible to oppose Kuchma without large amounts of money kept safely offshore?
 
If the answer is "yes" then who has succeeded in this manner.  If the answer is "no" then you must understand why the Hromada party was properly funded to win the 1998 and 1999 elections.  Only this United States prosecution stopped a democratic change of power in Ukraine.
