Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office has again summoned Yulia Tymoshenko, the former Ukrainian prime minister and current opposition leader, for interrogation, the Tymoshenko Bloc-Batkivshchyna alliance said on Sunday.
The Ukrainian ex-premier will have to go to the Prosecutor General's Office on Monday. The reason for her summoning has not been named.
Tymoshenko said on Wednesday that a criminal case had been opened against her over alleged misuse of public funds, adding she was ordered not to leave the city and to reappear at the Prosecutor's Office.
Ukrainian opposition leaders, including Tymoshenko, have said that the authorities have launched a criminal probe against the ex-premier to intimidate the opposition and settle scores with it.
Tymoshenko moved to the opposition after her government was dissolved in March following presidential elections narrowly won by her rival Viktor Yanukovych. The opposition has strongly criticized the Yanukovych government over its "anti-Ukrainian" and "pro-Russian" policies.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has earlier said that the government led by Tymoshenko had misused $12 billion.
