More and more funny:

About 50 million euros, which were deposited in Latvian banks by former Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Sergei Arbyzov and entrepreneur Yuri Ivanyushchenko, were found illegally acquired and seized by the police in favor of the Latvian treasury, the program of Latvian television De Facto.

According to the information available to the journalists of the program, in the autumn of 2014, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Vitaly Yarema announced that the former Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Sergei Arbyzov in the banks of Latvia arrested 49,3 million US dollars.

The arrest was also imposed on accounts in Latvian banks of Ukrainian entrepreneur and politician Yuri Ivanyushenko, who held there 32 million dollars and 72 million Swiss francs. The Prosecutor General’s Office of Latvia has sent a request to its colleagues in Ukraine about the origin of these funds, but has never received a response.

“Unfortunately, we did not receive information from Ukraine in response that this money was stolen from the state and should be returned to Ukraine,” Attorney General Eric Kallenmeiers told reporters.

Since Latvian law allows capital to be recognised as illegally obtained before the investigation was completed, the Latvian police took advantage of this and confiscated it. A total of 50 million euros from these funds have been transferred to the Latvian budget.
