Yatseniuk waits for accomplishment of notorious corruption cases, confiscation of Yanukovych's $1.5 bln
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk asks the Ukrainian law enforcement agencies to accomplish investigations into notorious corruption crimes in Ukraine.
"First of all, we are talking about the need to focus on key cases," he said at a meeting with heads of the law enforcement agencies on anti-corruption investigations in Kyiv on Thursday.
In particular, Yatseniuk mentioned the confiscation of $1.5 billion belonging to ex-president Viktor Yanukovych. The Ukrainian premier said that the 2016 national budget already included these funds.
He also called to solve the case of illegal siphoning of the funds borrowed by the State Food and Grain Company of Ukraine against the government's guarantees and bring those responsible to accountability.
Yatseniuk also assured that nobody in the incumbent government enjoys immunity and should corrupt conduct be proven, the offender must be taken to court.
