Prosecutor of the PGO's Special Investigations Department Serhiy Atamanchuk told an UNIAN correspondent the court considered the motion yesterday, July 9.

As UNIAN reported earlier, the PGO was asking the court to seize property of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko as part of an investigation into his alleged complicity in Viktor Yanukovych's grab of a posh presidential residence near Kyiv.
