RFE/RL NEWSLINE Vol 2, No. 78 Part II, 23 April 1998

UKRAINIAN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CHAIRMAN KILLED.  Vadym Hetman, head of the Ukrainian Interbank Currency Exchange, has been shot dead at his home in Kyiv by an unknown assailant.  A Kyiv Interior Ministry Directorate spokesman told Interfax on 22 April that the police believe there are three possible reasons for the murder.  Two of those reasons are economic.  The third is political and related to "serious conflict situations" in the recent elections, in which Hetman made an unsuccessful bid for a parliamentary seat.
