He said during his interview with 112 Ukraine, Ukrainian News reports.
The Minister noted that he regularly receives threats.
In particular, according to Petrenko, he received many threats of physical altercation, when in 2014, the Ministry of Justice changed the procedure of sale of distrained property and suspended the company, controlled by the son of former president Victor Yanukovich, from it.
“I did not have any security until lately. Now, I have 1 security man with me. I can’t live with it”, he noted.
Meanwhile, the minister emphasized that it is difficult to frighten him.
“I was born in the Soviet Union, I survived many revolutions; it is useless to threaten me”, Petrenko noted.
In addition, in his interview, Petrenko said that the statements that he is the classmate or fellow student of former Prime Minister and Leader of Narodnyi Front Party Arsenii Yatseniuk are false.
The Minister states that he got acquainted with Yatseniuk back in 2009, during his presidential campaign.
