Property of Yanukovych's trustee worth over UAH 1 billion seized in Ukraine

Based on the materials of the Security Service and the National Police, the property of a former MP suspected of financing the occupation groups of the Russian Federation was seized. This was reported by UNN with reference to the SBU.

Details

In total, assets worth more than UAH 1 billion were seized. These include bank accounts and 4 apartments in Kyiv, a house and land near the capital, as well as 7 premium cars, including a Maybach.

The defendant was a confidant of fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych and a member of the banned Party of Regions. According to the case file, even before the outbreak of a full-scale war, the former MP went abroad and organized the wholesale production of medicines for illegal armed groups of the "DNR" terrorist organization

First of all, it is about painkillers for the first aid kits of Russians and military hospitals of the self-proclaimed republics. To produce the medicines, the former MP used a pharmaceutical company under his control in the temporarily occupied Horlivka in Donetsk region.

Law enforcers found that after opening accounts in the "DNR Republican Bank", the suspect's company annually paid taxes to the budget of the DNR terrorist organization, which were subsequently used to finance illegal armed groups.

Based on the evidence gathered, the National Police investigators served the defendants in the criminal proceedings a notice of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 258-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (financing of terrorism committed by an organized group of persons).

The investigation against the former MP and other suspects is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of the crime and bring the perpetrators to justice.
