Yulia Tymoshenko sentenced to seven years in jail
Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko on Tuesday was found guilty of abuse of office and sentenced to seven years in jail, in a trial widely condemned in the West as politically motivated.
Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko will not appear in court on Monday as scheduled, the prison service said, saving the Euro 2012 co-host added scandal on the eve of the semi-finals.
