Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office has no info on detention of ex-Kyiv Mayor Chernovetsky's son in Spain

The Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office has sent a request to the Spanish prosecution authorities on providing information on Stepan Chernovetsky, former Kyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky's son.

"We do not have official information now. We have sent a request for information to the Spanish prosecution services, and they will provide us with such. As a rule, this takes at least a month," Larysa Sarhan, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian prosecutor general, said on her Facebook account on Friday evening.

Spanish media reported earlier that a court in Barcelona had ruled to take into custody without bail seven out of eight people arrested earlier on money laundering charges, including Stepan Chernovetsky.

Ukrainian prosecutors have also reopened inquiries into several "old, mostly dropped cases concerning Mr. Chernovetsky Sr.'s activities while he was Kyiv mayor," Sarhan said. The Kyiv prosecutor is supposed to present a report on the condition of these cases, Sarhan said.
