President Petro Poroshenko held a meeting with the leadership of the National Police and heard the report on the investigation into the heinous murder of lawyer Iryna Nozdrovska. “I think such a fast crime solution indicates an extremely high potential of the reformed National Police,” the President said, adding that the solution of this case “reflects credit on both the police officers and the investigators involved”.

“I would like to express gratitude for the great job, for the fast reaction,” the President noted, adding that the investigators had worked 24/7 to solve the crime. He emphasized that the solution of this crime increases public confidence in the National Police and in the authorities.

Petro Poroshenko underscored a very professional work of the investigators: “Our meeting is also an evidence of serious evidence collected by representatives of the National Police jointly with the prosecutor's office, and of the absence of any components of political PR in this heinous case”.
