January 27, the investigation requested that the Dniprovsky District Court in Kyiv change the measure of restraint against the former head of the Mykhaylivsky bank, who failed to report to the investigator’s office as required. The law enforcers sought to put the man on the wanted list, according to FinClub.

The judge has satisfied the request.

Meanwhile, Doroshenko's lawyer Rostyslav Kravets gave no comment on the information, noting that his contract with the client had been expired.

Earlier, the SBU Security Service of Ukraine reported that there was evidence of Ihor Doroshenko's intent to flee to Canada along with his family. "His wife is choosing a kindergarten for their children there," the source told FinClub.
