The employees of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) have blocked UAH 110 million in the State Treasury Service, which had to be received by MAKO Trading S.A. owned by Oleksandr Yanukovych, son of Ukraine's ousted ex-president.
"The law enforcement officers found that the State Treasury Service had received the order of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine to transfer this amount to the accounts of MAKO Trading S.A.," the press center of the SBU told an UNIAN correspondent.
By court order, the amount of UAH 110 million was written off by the State Executive Service from the accounts of Arselor Mittal Kryviy Rih PJSC in favor of the company of Oleksandr Yanukovych that had filed a lawsuit to recover the debt.
Security officers quickly blocked the financial operations of MAKO Trading S.A. in the State Treasury and the State Service for Financial Monitoring of Ukraine.
The SBU has informed the Prosecutor General's Office to seize the blocked funds.
