What is more, Censor.net editor Yuriy Butusov shared a list of the seized property in a Facebook post on June 2. According to him, these are a villa and housing real estate in Tarragona, Spain, as well as bank accounts with Spain-based CaixaBank, Russia-based Raiffeisen Bank, and East-West United Bank S.A. (Luxembourg). The court also ruled on temporary access to Sharij belongings and documents, which constitute banking secrets, at HSBC Bank Canada.
However, the press service of Ukraine's SBU Security Service said in a comment for the Ukrayinska Pravda that the information is confidential as a pretrial investigation is under way and it should not be disclosed.
"This information is confidential over the pretrial investigation and it is not subject to disclosure until the execution of the court's rulings," the SBU said.
