Kyiv Court of Appeals has declined to mitigate the life sentence of Oleksiy Pukach, the former head of Ukraine’s Department of External Surveillance, who in 2013 was found guilty of murdering Ukrainian journalist Heorhiy Gongadze.
Pukach’s defense insisted that he had no motive or criminal intent to commit murder. They asked for an eight-year prison term instead of a life sentence.
Pukach is one of four people who were found guilty of the murder. He was sentenced on January 29, 2013.
Gongadze was kidnapped and murdered in September 2000. A prominent independent journalist, he was known for his reporting on high-level corruption.
