"All materials and appeals on this topic received after February 15 are attached to the materials of the said criminal proceedings to verify them within the pre-trial investigation into the fact, of which the applicants have been notified in writing," the NABU said.

Earlier, a report by Denys Bihus for the Nashi Hroshi (Our Money) investigative project revealed that Filatov failed to report profits of his civil wife, a lawyer, who had sealed a number of profitable contracts after her husband had been appointed to the Presidential Administration.

As UNIAN reported earlier, during the crisis, Filatov recovered $800,000 from his sister's deposit account in Alfa Bank through the decision of his "pocket judge" despite a UAH 15,000 ceiling on cash withdrawal from accounts in foreign currency by citizens.
