The Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) of Ukraine says a Latvian court has ruled to confiscate the funds worth US$30 million, which are associated with allies of the ousted Ukrainian ex-president, Viktor Yanukovych.

The funds were frozen in Latvia in early 2015 as part of the Ukrainian side's request for legal assistance, the PGO's press service said on October 15.

The issue of returning the recovered assets to Ukraine will be resolved at the intergovernmental level, the press service added.
