In her closing statement, ex-prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko denounced her trial as a "political lynching"...while her supporters tussled with police outside the courtroom.
Tymoshenko is charged with abuse of power for signing a 10-year deal in 2009 for importing overly expensive gas from Moscow.
She could be sentenced to 7 years.
"This trial is a classic case of political lynching," said Tymoshenko. "No document has ever proved any guilt. They (the authorities) have falsified this entire affair".
