Ukraine's Prosecutor General Vitaliy Yarema has revealed specific sums on the frozen bank counts of former Ukrainian high-ranking officials.
The society is seeking the return of the assets that were moved abroad by the previous government, he told a press conference in Kyiv on Sept. 30.
The Prosecutor General’s Office has recently sent about 20 requests to relevant authorities in Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Latvia and other countries, he recalled.
“Overall, assets of former high-ranking officials have been frozen in a number of foreign states, and it looks like this: Andriy Kliuyev (the ex-chief of the presidential administration) – 13 million Swiss francs in Swiss banks accounts and a 558 square meter house; Serhiy Kliuyev (a parliamentarian) – 13 million Swiss francs frozen; Oleksiy Azarov (the son of ex-prime minister Mykola Azarov) – 6.7 million euro with Austrian banks and a 5 million euro property,” the prosecutor general said.
The former first deputy prime minister, Serhiy Arbuzov, had $49.3 million frozen with Latvian banks; parliamentarian Yuriy Ivaniuschenko, $32 million and 72 million Swiss francs in Latvia.
