Former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma was one of the organisers of the abduction of a prominent reporter, a parliamentary commission believes.
Georgiy Gongadze disappeared in September 2000 and his headless body was found in a wood two months later.
The head of the commission probing the murder, Grygoriy Omelchenko, told MPs his colleagues “unanimously identified” Mr Kuchma as the kidnap’s organiser.
Mr Kuchma – who was Ukraine’s president until 2004 – denies any involvement.
