There had been no illegal outflow of funds from the bank accounts of former head of the National Bank of Ukraine Serhiy Arbuzov and his wife during the period when the arrest of the accounts was withdrawn and imposed again, the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine (PGO) has said.
“To check what happened, investigators initiated an appeal to the State Financial Monitoring Service and received definitive information that during the period from Friday to Monday, namely from Nov. 21 to Nov. 25, not a single kopeck from the previously arrested accounts disappeared,” first deputy chief of the main investigation department Sviatoslav Lahaniak said at a briefing in Kyiv.
He assured “that all money that had been arrested until Nov. 21, 2014 as of today remains on the arrested accounts and are blocked. Thus, there had been no illegal outflow of funds from the blocked bank accounts.”
As reported, the main investigation department of the Prosecutor General’s Office in May 2014 recorded in the unified register of pre-trial investigations data about property embezzlement through abuse of office by Serhiy Arbuzov under Part 5 of Article 191 (misappropriation, embezzlement of property or seizure by malpractice) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
