Savchenko amnesty depends on stated article of Criminal Code in final charge - justice minister

MOSCOW. April 23 (Interfax) - The issue of whether or not Ukrainian pilot Nadia Savchenko will be eligible for amnesty will depend on the final edition of the charge brought against her, Justice Minister Alexander Konovalov said.

"I don't know what precisely the investigators are accusing her of, I am not an investigator. Everything depends on the final edition of the charge," Konovalov said, responding to a question as to whether Savchenko may become eligible for amnesty.
