Published in News Digest

By empty (5/2/2002 issue of the CACI Analyst)

In a two-hour speech to the court on 30 April, former Kyrgyz Vice President Feliks Kulov rejected as politically motivated the charges of embezzlement of state funds brought against him and claimed that he has demonstrated his innocence, RFE/RL\'s Bishkek bureau reported. Those charges relate to Kulov\'s tenure as governor of Chu Oblast in 1993-1997 and as Bishkek mayor in 1998-1999. Kulov is serving a seven-year term for alleged abuse of his official position; the prosecutor has demanded a further 11-year sentence.
