Kyiv's Appeals Court on October 19 ruled to bar Member of Parliament Ivan Vinnyk from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc parliamentary faction from going abroad in connection with UAH 370.999 million (about $14 million) in debts owed to Kyiv-based Alfa Bank and Dnipro-based PrivatBank.

In keeping with the court's ruling, the ban will be in effect until the debts have been cleared.

During a court hearing on the Vinnyk case, a representative of Alfa Bank said that the MP owns a quarter of a flat, four small-sized vessels, but he is concealing that he owns this property.
