The Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office is checking the materials from the case surrounding the poisoning of ex-president Viktor Yushchenko in 2004, the Unian news agency reported Tuesday.
"The criminal case materials are being checked. The results will be reported," Unian quoted a Prosecutor General's Office representative as saying.
The case was being probed by an investigative group led by Halyna Klymovych, who resigned from the post in April 2010.
Ukrainian media wrote on Monday that criminal proceedings may be launched against Klymovych over the disappearance of material evidence from the case. A source in the Prosecutor General's Office said the materials do not contain a sample of Yushchenko's blood.
Klymovych said the blood samples were destroyed before she was appointed head of the investigative group. She has insisted that her investigative group conducted a thorough probe and proved that Yushchenko had been poisoned.
