Ukrainian Interior Minister Avakov: Main versions of Sheremet murder are journalistic and opposition activities

Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said this at a briefing.

 "Initially, the investigation considered five versions. The separate bloc included his journalistic and opposition activities outside of Ukraine," Avakov said.

He added that 16 examinations had been currently conducted.

As reported, the National Police considered five versions of the murder of journalist Pavel Sheremet in Kyiv last summer. Among them were the journalistic activity of Sheremet in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia, the murder by mistake, the attempt to destabilize the situation in the country, and personal conflict because of family, commercial and financial disputes.
