The court ordered the bank to transfer funds to Ukraine's Asset Recovery and Management Agency.
Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) says a court has frozen UAH 247 million (US$10.3 million), which belonged to ousted Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych's allies.
The funds were kept in the accounts of former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's PJSC International Investment Bank. The court ordered the bank to transfer funds to Ukraine's Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA), the PGO's press service reported on January 17.

The accounts were blocked in criminal proceedings related to the legalization of over US$84 million in illicit proceeds from financial transactions by Yanukovych's allies.
"The issue whether it was lawful to keep funds of Vseukrayinsky Bank Rozvytku [all-Ukrainian Development Bank/VBR Bank) in JSC International Investment Bank's accounts is also being investigated along with the identification of persons involved," the press service added.
Detectives have informed three individuals that they were suspected of committing crimes, while two more were put on the wanted list. The materials will soon be submitted to the court.
