KIEV — Jailed former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko will soon face a new trial on charges of tax evasion, state prosecutors said Wednesday.
Tymoshenko was sentenced to seven years last October for abuse of power in a case widely viewed as politically motivated.
The new case accuses her of tax evasion and other offenses during her stint as the head of a private energy firm in the 1990s and will be sent to a court within five days, the Prosecutor General's Office said Wednesday.
