EU court confirms freezing of Yanukovych funds
By EUobserver
The EU court confirmed on Thursday the freezing of funds of Viktor Yanukovych, former president of Ukraine, and of his son Oleksandr back in 2015. At the time the two men were subject to pre-trial investigations in Ukraine for offences linked to misappropriation of Ukrainian public funds and their illegal transfer outside Ukraine. The two Ukrainians had brought actions before the court to challenge the freezing.
