Ukrainian court seizes Yanukovych's house, flat, two garages, and a ship
The Pechersky district court of Kyiv seized the property of former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. The court order empowered authorities "to seize an apartment house, two garages in a semi-underground parking and a ship named ‘Brig,’ prohibiting individuals who have the relevant right to dispose of the specified property.”
According to the document, Yanukovych is suspected of committing crimes related to articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on treason, accessory to changing the state border of Ukraine and waging aggressive war. Sanctions under these articles, as noted in the document, include the possibility of additional types of punishment and the Prosecutor Office asked the court to seize the property of the former President.
"The court fully granted the request,” the document reads.
Earlier, the General Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine initiated eight criminal proceedings against Yanukovych.
