KIEV, Ukraine ? A spokeswoman for former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko says prosecutors have asked the judge in her abuse-of-office trial to sentence her to seven years in prison.
The spokeswoman, Natasha Lysova, says prosecutor Liliya Frolova also asked the judge on Tuesday to fine the country's top opposition leader 1.5 billion hryvna ($190,000 or euro140,000) for the alleged damages she caused and to make her ineligible to occupy government posts for three years.
Prosecutors could not immediately be reached for comment.
Tymoshenko stands accused of exceeding her authority when signing a gas import contract with Russia in 2009.
She says the trial is an effort by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to bar her from upcoming elections.
