The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has uncovered a channel of an outflow of over UAH 10 million embezzled by son ex-president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, Oleksandr, to Russia.

“A company of MAKO holding faked the purchase of equipment in Russia to bring cash abroad. It allegedly had to be imported to the territory that at the time of the financial scheme already was not under control of Ukrainian authorities,” the SBU press service reported on Thursday.

To arrest banking accounts of the company used in the illegal scheme, the SBU informed the Prosecutor General’s Office to use these materials in the pre-trial investigation into criminal proceeding opened against Oleksandr Yanukovych.
