Criminal case opened against ex Ukraine security service official.

KIEV, November 5 (Itar-Tass) - A criminal case was opened against
former deputy chief of Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) Andrei Kislinsky
on charges of forging a diploma of the Kiev University named after
Shevchenko.
Kislinsky was recently fired from the SBU in connection with the use
of unauthentic information when getting a job in civil service. "I was
summoned to an investigator to be given a resolution on the opening of
criminal proceedings against me," he told reporters on Wednesday.
A commission of the Ministry of Science and Education ascertained that
his diploma "does not match the standards for the diplomas issued in 2000"
The row around Kislinsky erupted after the public accusations by
parliamentarian Gennady Moskal, who claimed the deputy chief of the SBU
had not received higher education.
Prosecutors launched a probe into the allegations, and the government
ordered to check the authenticity of the diplomas of all high-ranking
officials.
Prior to his appointed to the SBU post, Kislinsky was an adviser to
President Viktor Yushchenko from February 2006. Next, he became
Yushchenko's aide.
From September 2007 to June 2009, he was deputy head of the
Secretariat of the Ukrainian president. At the SBU, Kislinsky supervised
the "information/analytical work," and was an authority on the Holodomor
(the Famine of 1932-1933 in Ukraine).
